How many citizens has the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan reached through nationwide awareness activities?

  1. A.More than 10.65 crore
  2. B.More than 13.71 crore
  3. C.More than 25.40 crore
  4. D.More than 34.56 crore

Correct answer

D. More than 34.56 crore

Explanation

The correct answer is more than 34.56 crore. That is the total reach of the campaign as stated in the release. The two smaller figures in options A and B are real but are subsets of the total, and they are the traps that cost marks: over 13.71 crore of those reached are youth and over 10.65 crore are women. Option C is invented. A candidate should therefore read whether the question asks for the total, the youth figure or the women's figure. One more number belongs in the same group and is asked just as often: more than 1.64 lakh Nasha Mukti Mitras have joined the campaign to strengthen community participation, and a citizen may register as one through the Department's official website. Keep the de-addiction helpline number 14446 with these figures as well.
