The Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan is being implemented under which ministry?
The Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan is being implemented under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, which aims to promote a substance-free society among the youth.
Consider the following statements regarding Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan: 1. The Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan is a 50-week campaign. 2. The Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan is being implemented under the Ministry of Education. 3. The Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan is a 100-week campaign. How many of the above statements are correct?
The Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan is indeed a 100-week campaign, as stated in fact 1. The other two statements are false: the campaign is not a 50-week campaign, and it is being implemented under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, not the Ministry of Education.
Consider the following two statements: Statement-I: More than 80,000 participants, including youth, Gram Panchayat members, village elders and local residents, participated in the initiative 'Gram Seva evam Parampragat Khel Diwas'. Statement-II: The initiative 'Gram Seva evam Parampragat Khel Diwas' was conducted to promote physical fitness, community participation and social responsibility among the youth, thereby reducing substance abuse. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Statement-I is true because fact 4 states that the activities were mobilising over 80,000 participants. Statement-II is also true because fact 6 states that the theme of the campaign highlights the role of physical fitness, community participation and social responsibility in promoting a substance-free society. Statement-II explains why Statement-I is true, as the initiative was conducted to promote the theme of the campaign.
