In how many districts was the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan first launched?
- A.112 districts
- B.272 districts
- C.372 districts
- D.750 districts
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 272 districts. When the Abhiyaan began it was taken up in 272 districts that had been identified as particularly vulnerable to substance use, so that effort and money went first where the problem was sharpest. Option C, 372 districts, is the figure for the next stage: the campaign was widened to that many districts in August 2022, and from 15 August 2023 it was extended to all districts of the country. Option A is the count used for a different government programme on aspirational districts and has nothing to do with this campaign. Option D is close to the total number of districts in India and would describe the present nationwide stage rather than the launch. The three-step growth of the campaign, from 272 to 372 and then to every district, is a favourite of examiners because it packs two numbers and two dates into one sentence.
