New Delhi, Delhi, 4th of April, 2026 : The Universal Parsi Registration Drive special facilitation camp, organised by the Ministry of Minority Affairs with support from the Bombay Parsi Panchayat in Mumbai, witnessed an overwhelming response today. Around 300 fresh registrations were completed on the Jiyo Parsi portal during the camp, marking a significant step towards strengthening outreach within the community.
Jiyo Parsi is a flagship Central Sector Scheme of the Government of India aimed at arresting the declining population of the Parsi community.
Launched in 2013-14, the scheme seeks to stabilise and increase the Parsi population through structured interventions and scientific support.
The scheme provides:
- Medical Assistance for fertility treatment and pregnancy-related care
- Health of Community support including financial assistance for childcare and care of dependent elderly
- Advocacy initiatives such as counselling, awareness campaigns, and outreach programmes.
Addressing the gathering, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Minority Affairs, Shri Shyama Prasad Roy, assured the community of the Government’s continued commitment to their welfare. He encouraged eligible beneficiaries to come forward and avail the scheme, and urged registered members to share feedback to further strengthen its implementation.
The successful conduct of the camp reflects growing awareness and trust in the scheme, and reinforces the Government’s resolve to preserve the rich cultural and demographic legacy of the Parsi community.
