The young billionaire is expected to meet members of other key ministries as well.
Mr. Zuckerberg is the third high profile CEO of a US-based corporation, after Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Micrsoft's Satya Nadella, to visit India in last few days.
'Internet.Org' aims to make Internet access affordable for people across the globe.
Focussed on enabling the next five billion people without Internet access to come online, the founding members of the project include Facebook, Ericsson, MediaTek, Nokia, Opera, Qualcomm and Samsung.
The partners are collaborating on developing lower-cost, higher-quality smartphones and deploying Internet access in under-served communities.
The Internet.org summit will bring together experts, officials and industry leaders to focus on ways to deliver more Internet services for people in languages other than English.
Mr. Zuckerberg will also meet Mr. Modi to talk about how Facebook and the Indian government can collaborate on Internet.org.
In July, Facebook's Chief Operating Officer Sandberg visited India. She had met Mr. Modi, who has effectively used social networking during his election campaign and later even in governance.
When Mr. Modi met Ms. Sandberg, he had suggested the use of Facebook for improving governance, better interaction between people and the government, and to attract more tourists to India.
