The Central Bureau of Narcotics functions under which Union ministry?
- A.Ministry of Home Affairs
- B.Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
- C.Ministry of Finance
- D.Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Finance, which is the ministry named with this announcement about the awareness drive in Madhya Pradesh. The Bureau is usually associated in the public mind with enforcement against narcotics, so option A looks tempting, but the home ministry is not the parent of this particular organisation. Option B and option D name ministries that deal with health care and with social welfare respectively, both of which touch the problem of substance abuse but do not administer this agency. The awareness programmes show the preventive side of the agency work: students at colleges and schools were briefed on how drug use harms health, education, family life and careers, and were encouraged through competitions, videos, presentations, meditation and poster making to become active carriers of the message in their own communities.
