Which ministry launched the online 'Nasha Mukt Yuva, Viksit Bharat Quiz'?
- A.Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports
- B.Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment
- C.Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
- D.Ministry of Home Affairs
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. The quiz was opened by that ministry under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan, the drug-demand-reduction campaign it runs, and it is the same ministry whose department supports the network of de-addiction centres quoted in the announcement. Option A is wrong because the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports owns the MY Bharat platform on which the quiz is hosted, but hosting a quiz is not the same as launching it. Option C is wrong because treatment and rehabilitation figures here are reported through the social justice ministry's own centres rather than the health ministry. Option D is wrong because the home ministry deals with narcotics enforcement and supply-side policing, whereas this campaign is explicitly about reducing demand through education, awareness, treatment and community participation.
