- A.Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat 100 Week Sankalp Abhiyan
- B.Fit India Movement
- C.Khelo India Yuva Abhiyan
- D.Swachh Bharat Yuva Abhiyan
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat 100 Week Sankalp Abhiyan. Diwali Sneh Milan was its eighth weekly intervention and brought the second month of the campaign to a close, with gatherings at 153 institutions and 1,07,494 participations. Option B names a fitness movement of the same ministry, which is a plausible distractor but is not the campaign in question. Option C refers to the sports and talent programme and has nothing to do with substance abuse prevention. Option D is a cleanliness-themed title that does not exist as the campaign under which this programme ran. Candidates should associate this campaign with its weekly interventions, with the Addiction-Free Diwali Sankalp taken by nearly 25,000 people, and with the Seva work of over 16,700 volunteers.
