Its main objective is to reverse the declining trend of Parsi population by adopting a scientific protocol and structured interventions. It has two components: Medical Assistance and Advocacy (Counselling). The first phase of the scheme was launched initiated in 2013. Minorities are defined both at the Central and State level.
