New Delhi: Showing support for Digital India, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg changed his Facebook profile picture to Indian tricolour.

Zuckerberg wrote in the caption of the photo, “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. Show your support for Digital India atfb.com/supportdigitalindia.”
