Meta and Central Government Launch ‘Education to Entrepreneurship’ Initiative

One million entrepreneurs will have access to Meta's digital marketing expertise over the course of the next three years.

Meta announced a three-year partnership with the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship to empower students, educators, and entrepreneurs across India. This partnership will bring together Meta’s work across education and skilling, mapping the journey of India’s students from the classroom to the workforce. 

As part of the partnership, Meta signed three Letters of Intent (LoI), one with a national-level council for technical education; one with the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE); and one with the National Institute for Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development (NIESBUD), which conducts training, consulting, and research to promote entrepreneurship and skill development in India.

One million entrepreneurs will have access to Meta’s digital marketing expertise over the course of the next three years as a part of collaboration with NIESBUD. Additionally, aspiring and established business owners will receive training in digital marketing techniques using Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram in 7 regional languages.
