The 'Nasha Mukt Yuva, Viksit Bharat Quiz' has been launched by which ministry?

  1. A.Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports
  2. B.Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment
  3. C.Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
  4. D.Ministry of Home Affairs

Correct answer

B. Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment

Explanation

The correct answer is the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, which runs the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan and has opened this quiz under it. Option A is wrong, though it is the most tempting choice, because the quiz is hosted on the MY Bharat portal that belongs to the youth affairs side of government; hosting a quiz is not the same as owning the campaign. Option C is wrong because the health ministry handles treatment and de-addiction services, including training for medical professionals, but demand reduction under this campaign rests with the social justice ministry. Option D is wrong because the home ministry and its agencies work on the supply side, that is on seizures and enforcement. Note the division of labour, as questions are often set on which ministry owns which part of the drive against drugs.
