Facebook Town-hall Meeting and Prime Minister NarendraModi- Mark Zuckerberg Interaction

Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended a town-hall meeting with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park. Modi became the second leader to hold a town-hall meeting in the Facebook office after Barrack Obama. Before the town-hall meeting, both Zucker berg and Modi changed their Facebook profile photos in support of Digital India Initiative.

The profile photos have shades of tri-colour. Zuckerberg captioned “I changed my profile picture to support Digital India, the Indian government’s effort to connect rural communities to the internet and give people access to more services online. Looking forward to discussing this with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Facebook today.”

Key points from the Town-Hall Meeting:
1. Modi- We are an $8 trillion economy today. My dream is for India to become a $20 trillion dollar economy. Amazing, how perception about India has changed in a very short time. We have brought in a new level of confidence.

2. Zuckerberg- My mentor Steve Jobs told me to visit an Indian temple to find the vision for my company

3. Zuckerberg- I am personally impressed by the way PM Modi has used social media to connect with people of India be it women’s issues or to spread messages of peace.

4. Modi- I hope that you will be the voice of millions of people all over the world and be aspirations for millions

5. Zuckerberg: We’ve received more than 40,000 questions for this town-hall

6. Modi: I did not have the privilege to become a very educated person growing up. My world could revolve around a few words.But social media has filled the gap for me

7. Modi: You are associated with the service sector, and I have seen the power of it

8. Modi: My mother is not educated but keeps in touch with world events through news on TV

9. Mod: My effort is to connect all 600,000 villages with optical fiber networks in the next five years

10. Modi: It is easy to turn a scooter, but not a train with 40 bogeys. This is such a big country, changes are constant and widespread. You will see the cumulative effect
