BSNL Invites Local Entrepreneurs to Join BharatNet FTTH Expansion in Rural Goa

BSNL Goa has invited local entrepreneurs, youth, students and self‑employed individuals to partner in the expansion of the BharatNet Fibre‑to‑the‑Home (FTTH) project in rural Goa. Under the Digital Bharat Nidhi programme, BSNL aims to inter‑connect every Gram Panchayat in the state with 1 Gbps broadband and then roll out FTTH services to households and businesses. Laying of optical fibre and Gram Panchayat inter‑connection is slated to start in October 2026, with FTTH deployment in phases. The scheme seeks local partners for last‑mile connectivity, promising business and employment opportunities while enhancing digital access in villages.
