Facebook Groups have become a lot easier to find. We have just launched a new Groups Discover feature to find new Groups to join, based on friends, location and interests.
In the new Groups Discover section, people can browse both public and closed Groups by category. Private Group admins can choose whether or not their Group's existence appears in the new Discover feature.
80 million people use Facebook Groups every month in India.
80 million people in India participate in Facebook Groups each month – and many of them are women. Today we brought some of these women together for an event in... New Dehli. Women in India are using Facebook Groups to build communities and reach goals together.
One of my favorite examples is MUMO Mumbai Moms, a Facebook Group of more than 70,000 mothers from across the city of Mumbai. The group's tagline is “ek break to banta hain” (taking a time-out is essential) — a much needed concept for moms everywhere. Members use the group to help each other with everything from connecting with fellow moms of special needs children to starting businesses. I was moved to hear the story of how the group emotionally and economically supported a 24-year-old mother after she lost her husband to a sudden heart attack. 40 members of the group — many of them strangers — stood by this woman's side, helping her with hospital paperwork and managing her house as visitors came through to pay their respects.
In India and around the world women are using technology to do what we've always done – lift each other up.

As more and more people turn to Facebook in times of crisis, or to seek vital government services, the Ministry of External Affairs, India in association with Facebook has developed an application http://bit.ly/2bp5YcE that helps people more easily connect with an Indian mission within their vicinity. Through the app, people can find the Indian mission within their vicinity, either by clicking on the country on the world map, or via a list of countries that are listed within... the app itself. By clicking on a particular country where India has a physical presence all social media handles of that mission (Facebook, Twitter, Website, YouTube) will appear in a pop-up window which people can click on to get direct access to these Pages. This new app is especially important in times of distress as it provides a single point where people can reach out to a mission directly. The app is also available on the Indian Diplomacy Page on Facebook.
