  1. A.272 districts
  2. B.372 districts
  3. C.112 districts
  4. D.All districts of the country

Correct answer

A. 272 districts

Explanation

The correct answer is 272 districts. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment began the campaign on 15 August 2020 in the districts judged most vulnerable to the use of alcohol, cannabis, opioids and other psychoactive substances. Those districts were chosen from inputs of the Narcotics Control Bureau and the findings of the first national survey on the extent and pattern of substance use. Option B names the figure the campaign reached only at its first expansion, in August 2022. Option D describes the position from 15 August 2023, when the Abhiyaan was extended to every district of the country, three years after its launch. Option C is simply not a stage in the campaign's growth. A paper setter often tests this sequence, so fix the three milestones in order: launch in the smallest set of districts in 2020, expansion in 2022, and nationwide coverage in 2023.
