Which initiative, under which young people spread the anti-drug message in their own languages and creative forms, was singled out for praise?

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.

The correct answer is Mera Yuva Bharat, known as MY Bharat, and the National Service Scheme. Volunteers of these two bodies work alongside schools, colleges, universities and various social and spiritual organisations to run pledge ceremonies and awareness programmes under the campaign, and the competitions that feed it are hosted on the MY Bharat platform. Option A names two well known youth organisations that do similar community work, but they are not the two named here. Option C pairs a cadet organisation with a skilling body, and while cadets often join social campaigns, that is not the pairing behind this drive. Option D names an innovation mission and a parliamentary programme, neither of which is a volunteer network of this kind. Candidates should tie MY Bharat and the National Service Scheme to this campaign, since both names recur across youth affairs questions.

The correct answer is the Brahma Kumaris. The bureau has signed a memorandum of understanding with this organisation, and the awareness programme held at Mandsaur was organised as a follow-up to it. About fifty opium cultivators and forty officers of the bureau attended that sitting, where participants were made aware of the harmful effects of drug abuse and of the part they can play in making the country drug-free; it ended with the Nasha Mukt Bharat anti-drug pledge. Options B, C and D name well-known organisations that work with young people and communities, but none of them was named as the partner in this programme. Mandsaur, along with Neemuch, is also where the bureau held its Jan Sunwayi hearings for cultivators, which more than 450 of them attended.

The correct answer is more than 450. The bureau held Jan Sunwayi, or public hearing, programmes at Neemuch and Mandsaur so that the grievances of opium cultivators could be redressed promptly and without their having to travel far, and more than 450 cultivators took part in the two sittings taken together. Options A, B and D give smaller or larger counts that were not reported for these hearings. The matters the cultivators raised included corrections of names in records, Namantaran or the transfer of holdings, and their eligibility for the coming Settlement Operation 2026-27, which decides who may cultivate opium under licence in the next season. Officers heard and addressed these queries on the spot, and cultivators were separately advised to be careful of middlemen and to approach the bureau directly for help.

The correct answer is Mission Yuva Raksha. This is the outreach under which the bureau sensitises students and young people about the harmful effects of drug abuse, the measures that prevent it, and the part the young can play in building a drug-free society. The programme at G.T. Polytechnic College in Jaora was run under this mission and used presentations, awareness videos and quiz activities before the participants took and signed the anti-drug pledge. Options A, C and D name missions that do not exist in this context; none of them was named by the bureau. The larger goal that Mission Yuva Raksha serves is Nasha Mukt Bharat, or a drug-free India, and the bureau pairs this preventive work with enforcement operations against illicit trafficking, diversion and abuse of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.
