The closing day of the campaign marked which birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi?

The correct answer is 17 September 2026. The campaign opened on that date with the taking of the Swachhata pledge and ran as a fortnight-long drive that ended on 2 October 2026, the day observed as Swachh Bharat Diwas. Through the fortnight offices held cleanliness drives, door-to-door awareness visits, drawing competitions, walkathons, plantation under Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam and cultural activities such as Nukkad Natak and slogan writing. Option A is wrong because the campaign had not started at the beginning of September. Option C is wrong because that date fell in the last stretch of the drive rather than at its start, when officials joined sweeping work on the eve of Swachh Bharat Diwas. Option D is wrong because it falls in the middle of the fortnight, after the pledge had already been taken. The pair of dates to memorise is 17 September to 2 October.

The correct answer is Eco Clubs for Mission LiFE. The Shramdaan was organised at a PM SHRI school in New Delhi under the aegis of Eco Clubs for Mission LiFE and was led by the Secretary of the Department of School Education and Literacy, with students, teachers, senior officials and officers of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan joining in. The drive covered the school campus, the community space next to it and the park facing the school, and was followed by a plantation programme under Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 3.0 and a quiz on the Solid Waste Management Rules. Options B, C and D name other well-known school-level programmes of the education sector, but none of them was the banner under which this cleanliness drive was conducted. Remember the pairing of Eco Clubs with Mission LiFE in school-level environment activities.

The correct answer is poppy straw. Of the total stock destroyed in the disposal operation, poppy straw accounted for 10,823.990 kg, which is almost the whole of the consignment. The remaining items were far smaller in quantity: heroin at 7.535 kg, charas at 7.400 kg, mephedrone at 3.175 kg and brown sugar at 0.050 kg, adding up with the poppy straw to the overall figure for the operation. Options A, B and C therefore name drugs that were indeed part of the destroyed stock but in very small amounts compared with poppy straw. The distinction matters because poppy straw is bulky plant material, while heroin, charas and mephedrone are concentrated substances that are trafficked in much smaller weights, and examination questions often test this sense of proportion.

The correct answer is Thailand. Acting on specific intelligence about a suspect consignment, officers of the bureau at Jaipur examined an international parcel received from that country at the Foreign Post Office and found hydroponic weed weighing 1.080 kg concealed inside 29 pouches of cake, which had been mixed with other cake packets and articles so that the contraband would escape attention. Options A, C and D name other countries often discussed in connection with narcotics routes into the region, but the parcel in this case came from Thailand. The case is a reminder that postal and courier consignments are a channel that enforcement agencies watch closely, and that the bureau says it keeps international consignments under watch on the basis of specific intelligence inputs.

The correct answer is Neemuch. Along with the destruction of the bulk of the seized contraband, the bureau deposited 154.375 kg of seized opium at the Government Opium and Alkaloid Works at Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh as part of the prescribed disposal process. Option A is wrong because Mandsaur is the station of the preventive and intelligence cell whose officers made the separate opium seizure on the road towards Manasa. Option B is wrong because Khor is the place where the cement plant stands at which the destruction was carried out, which is a different step in the same process. Option D is wrong because Jaipur is where the parcel from abroad was examined at the Foreign Post Office. Candidates should remember Neemuch as the centre linked with the lawful handling and processing of opium.
