When was the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan launched?

The correct answer is more than 34.56 crore. That is the total reach of the campaign as stated in the release. The two smaller figures in options A and B are real but are subsets of the total, and they are the traps that cost marks: over 13.71 crore of those reached are youth and over 10.65 crore are women. Option C is invented. A candidate should therefore read whether the question asks for the total, the youth figure or the women's figure. One more number belongs in the same group and is asked just as often: more than 1.64 lakh Nasha Mukti Mitras have joined the campaign to strengthen community participation, and a citizen may register as one through the Department's official website. Keep the de-addiction helpline number 14446 with these figures as well.

The correct answer is the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre at AIIMS, New Delhi. The release explains that the Ministry runs a comprehensive and evidence-based strategy under the National Action Plan for Drug Demand Reduction, and that the strategy is based on the findings of the first National Survey on the Extent and Pattern of Substance Use in India, carried out by that centre. Options A and C name agencies associated with crime statistics and with narcotics enforcement, which sound plausible in a drug-related question but belong to a different ministry and a different function. Option D is a well-known medical research body that the release does not mention here. Under the plan the Ministry gives financial assistance to State Governments, Union Territories, non-government organisations and government hospitals for preventive education, awareness generation, counselling, treatment and rehabilitation.

The correct answer is CPENGRAMS. The release records that, besides the target cases identified by ministries, grievance cases pending on the CPENGRAMS portal for more than one month were also taken up for redressal during the preparatory phase. It further notes that most resolved cases pertain to pensioners and family pensioners living in rural areas, and that the arrival of grievances from rural areas in online mode through CPENGRAMS and other ministry portals is bridging the digital divide. Option A, CPGRAMS, is the strongest distractor of the four, because the two names differ by only three letters and CPGRAMS is the wider public grievance portal, while the one named here is the pension-specific system. Option C, Bhavishya, and option D, Anubhav, are genuine initiatives connected with pensioners, which is exactly why they are placed here, but neither is the portal named in this release. Read such acronyms letter by letter before answering.

The correct answer is 7 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. The Department of Pension and Pensioners' Welfare started Special Campaign 3 on the earlier of those dates, for the timely and qualitative redressal of long-pending pension grievances, claims and issues, and the campaign concluded on the later one. It had a preparatory phase, in which pending cases were identified, and an execution phase, in which the department coordinated with ministries and held two mid-campaign review meetings. Option A and option C offer neat round periods of the kind that campaigns often use, which is why they feel plausible to a student recalling only the season. Option D stretches the start back to the beginning of the financial year while keeping the correct end date, and is the trap for anyone who remembers only one of the two dates. Note that annual campaigns of this kind have been organised since 2024, and this was the third edition.

The correct answer is 2,306. The release states that the coordinated efforts of forty ministries and departments culminated in the successful resolution of this many cases, and that the redressal rate works out to seventy-two per cent. Every wrong option here is a genuine figure from the same release, which is what makes this question a good test of careful reading. Option A is the count of target cases identified by ministries and departments during the preparatory phase. Option B is the count of grievance cases that had been pending on the CPENGRAMS portal for more than one month and were taken up in the same phase. Option D is the total number of cases taken up, and the correct answer is the part of that total which was actually resolved. The cleanest way to hold this is as a fraction with a percentage attached: cases resolved out of cases taken up, giving seventy-two per cent. Active follow-up continues on the rest.
