myScheme’s own wording, reproduced in full. Where it is thin, that is the finding, and the completeness checks are below.

What this is

The objective of the scheme is to reverse the declining trend of Parsi population by adopting a scientific protocol and structured interventions, stabilize their population and increase the population of Parsis in India.

In detail

The population of Parsis (Zoroastrians), a notified minority community under the National Commission of Minorities Act 1992, has declined from 1,14,000 in 1941 to 57,264 in 2011 as per Census data. In order to arrest the decline in population and reverse the trend, the Government of India through the Ministry of Minority Affairs (MoMA) formulated the Jiyo Parsi scheme in September 2013.

The scheme has three components:

i) Medical Assistance – to provide financial assistance for medical treatment under standard medical protocol;

ii) Health of Community – to provide financial assistance to Parsi couples towards childcare and assistance to dependent elderly; and

iii) Advocacy – to create awareness among the younger generation of marriageable age and young couples to make efforts to contain the population decline of the community and to seek early diagnosis and treatment where necessary.

Who qualifies

The scheme is meant for the notified minority community, i.e., Parsi/Zoroastrians residing in India.
