How many opium cultivators took part in the Jan Sunwayi programmes held at Neemuch and Mandsaur?
- A.More than 150
- B.More than 250
- C.More than 450
- D.More than 650
Correct answer
C. More than 450
Explanation
The correct answer is more than 450. The bureau held Jan Sunwayi, or public hearing, programmes at Neemuch and Mandsaur so that the grievances of opium cultivators could be redressed promptly and without their having to travel far, and more than 450 cultivators took part in the two sittings taken together. Options A, B and D give smaller or larger counts that were not reported for these hearings. The matters the cultivators raised included corrections of names in records, Namantaran or the transfer of holdings, and their eligibility for the coming Settlement Operation 2026-27, which decides who may cultivate opium under licence in the next season. Officers heard and addressed these queries on the spot, and cultivators were separately advised to be careful of middlemen and to approach the bureau directly for help.

Practice Questions
Under which mission did the Central Bureau of Narcotics hold the anti-drug awareness programme for students at Jaora?
- A.Mission Yuva Shakti
- B.Mission Yuva Raksha
- C.Mission Nasha Mukti
- D.Mission Suraksha Chakra
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Mission Yuva Raksha
Explanation
The correct answer is Mission Yuva Raksha. This is the outreach under which the bureau sensitises students and young people about the harmful effects of drug abuse, the measures that prevent it, and the part the young can play in building a drug-free society. The programme at G.T. Polytechnic College in Jaora was run under this mission and used presentations, awareness videos and quiz activities before the participants took and signed the anti-drug pledge. Options A, C and D name missions that do not exist in this context; none of them was named by the bureau. The larger goal that Mission Yuva Raksha serves is Nasha Mukt Bharat, or a drug-free India, and the bureau pairs this preventive work with enforcement operations against illicit trafficking, diversion and abuse of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.
The awareness programme at Mandsaur was a follow-up to the memorandum of understanding signed by the CBN with which organisation?
- A.Brahma Kumaris
- B.Ramakrishna Mission
- C.Bharat Scouts and Guides
- D.Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Brahma Kumaris
Explanation
The correct answer is the Brahma Kumaris. The bureau has signed a memorandum of understanding with this organisation, and the awareness programme held at Mandsaur was organised as a follow-up to it. About fifty opium cultivators and forty officers of the bureau attended that sitting, where participants were made aware of the harmful effects of drug abuse and of the part they can play in making the country drug-free; it ended with the Nasha Mukt Bharat anti-drug pledge. Options B, C and D name well-known organisations that work with young people and communities, but none of them was named as the partner in this programme. Mandsaur, along with Neemuch, is also where the bureau held its Jan Sunwayi hearings for cultivators, which more than 450 of them attended.
Which brand of the National Cooperative Consumers' Federation was put on sale at the Kollam programme?
- A.Janah
- B.Amrit
- C.Vanitham
- D.Sahkar
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Janah
Explanation
The correct answer is Janah, the NCCF brand whose sale the Union Cooperation Minister launched at Kollam. A memorandum of understanding was also exchanged for integrating the supply-chain logistics of fisheries products of the Bharatiya Matsya Pravartak Sangham with this brand. Option C, Vanitham, is wrong because that word belongs to the name of the She-Mart shops inaugurated the same day, not to the product brand. Options B and D are invented names. At the same event, Bharat Atta and Bharat Rice were put on sale for women customers through the She-Mart shops, free urad and gram seed kits went to women farmers under the Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses, and scholarship cheques were given under the NAFED-Kalyan Scholarship Scheme.
How many She-Mart stores are planned across Keralam, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka?
- A.More than 100
- B.More than 300
- C.More than 500
- D.More than 2,500
Show answer
Correct answer: B. More than 300
Explanation
The correct answer is more than 300. An agreement signed at the Kollam event between the NCCF and Bharat Lajhna Sahakari Samiti provides for opening 300 She-Mart shops across the three southern states, where local products will be sold along with Bharat Brand goods. Option D is a distractor built from a different figure in the same news: the NCCF already runs more than 2,500 retail outlets, and the new She-Marts will work alongside them. Options A and C are simply not the announced number. The purpose of the chain is to let women self-help groups and rural women entrepreneurs earn at every stage of the value chain, from procurement and processing to branding, packaging and direct retail sale, without depending on middlemen.
From which state were the Vanitham She-Mart Shops launched in September 2026?
- A.Tamil Nadu
- B.Karnataka
- C.Keralam
- D.Andhra Pradesh
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Keralam
Explanation
The correct answer is Keralam. The Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation launched the Vanitham She-Mart Shops at the Pavithram Convention Centre in Kollam on 26 September 2026, and said it was satisfying that the initiative was beginning from a state with more than 23,000 working cooperative institutions and a movement that has been organised since before Independence. Options A and B, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, are wrong as the answer to this question although they are part of the story, because the more than 300 She-Mart stores planned will be spread across Keralam, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka; the launch itself was in Keralam. Option D, Andhra Pradesh, does not figure in the plan at all. Aspirants should remember the launch state and the three states of the rollout separately.
