Kiren Rijiju To NDTV On Jiyo Parsi Scheme: "We Need More Parsis"
The Central Sector Scheme for Containing Population Decline of Small Minority Communities by the Ministry of Minority Affairs addresses the declining population of the Parsi (Zoroastrian) community, which has fallen from 1,14,000 in 1941 to 57,264 in 2011. To counter this trend, the Jiyo Parsi Scheme was introduced in 2013 and revised in 2017.
