  • The programme is a joint initiative of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs and Meta (formerly FaceBook).
  • GOAL 2.0 initiative aims to digitally upskill 10 lakh youth by promoting entrepreneurship amongst tribal communities of the country and opening up opportunities for them using digital technology.
