The Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Abhiyan is being run as a sustained campaign of how many weeks?

  1. A.50 weeks
  2. B.75 weeks
  3. C.100 weeks
  4. D.150 weeks

Correct answer

C. 100 weeks

Explanation

The correct answer is 100 weeks. The campaign against drugs and substance abuse among the young has been designed as a sustained drive of that length, so that awareness work continues instead of ending with a single day or a single week of events. Option A, fifty weeks, would be roughly a year and is the sort of round figure a candidate guesses when the real number is not remembered. Option B, seventy five weeks, echoes the Amrit Mahotsav style of numbering that several other campaigns have used, which makes it tempting but wrong here. Option D, one hundred and fifty weeks, simply stretches the correct figure. Remember the number along with the full name of the campaign and the two volunteer bodies behind it, because a question can be framed on any of the three.
