Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Union Home Minister. Shri Amit Shah, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, unveiled the Vision Document on Narcotic Control for 2026 to 2029 in June 2026. It sets out the government's strategy to tackle the whole drug trade ecosystem over three years and defines the responsibilities and targets of different Ministries and departments. Option A is wrong: the Union Health Minister launched the capacity building programme that flows from the document and reiterated the Nasha Mukt Bharat goal, but he did not unveil the document itself. Option C is wrong, although the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment runs de-addiction facilities that the training will also cover, and about 150 of its personnel are expected at offline sessions. Option D is wrong because the Education Ministry was represented at the launch but has no such role in the document.
