Jiyo
Parsi- the Government of India’s scheme implemented by Parzor, has expanded in
5 years from a medical programme financially assisting couples who require ART,
to a programme dealing with the care of elders and children, with financial
assistance as well as Counselling, to ensure the Health of the Community.
At
an exclusive event on 6 July at the Banaji Atash Behram Hall, Charni Road
Mumbai eminent psychiatrist Dr. Pervin Dadachanji, Chief Guest, addressed the
audience on the topic : ‘Yes, We Can: Marriage Myths and Reality.’
Dr Dadachanji, renowned
Consultant Psychiatrist, has many decades of experience in the field of
Counselling young adults and her speech was greatly appreciated.
Taking
Jiyo Parsi’s attempts at Parsi matrimony further, Parzor planned an evening for
the launch of a Parsi Shaadi App. This particular app is created by one of
India’s leading matrimonial services Shaadi.com. They had
assigned Mr Pamit Anand, VP & Business – Head, People Interactive
India, Private Ltd, to launch the App at this event.
Helping Parsis Meet
their Partners, is on the checklist of Jiyo Parsi. A dedicated App can empower singles,
allow them to choose independently and when single-mindedly dedicated towards
the Parsi Zoroastrian community, will help young adults find a suitable
partner.
This
app launch was followed by an interactive panel discussion entitled ‘A
Wholesome Work Life Balance.’
Eminent Chairman of
the Madison World Group, Mr Sam Balsara, who has been closely involved with the
Jiyo Parsi initiative and prepared all the Ad Campaigns pro-bono through
Madison BMB, showed his excellent understanding of the issues facing his
community. Dr Anahita Pandole, Consultant Gynaecologist, spear heading the
medical component of the scheme shared her experiences, while Mr Jimmy Mistry,
Chairman & Managing Director, Della Group showed how to manage life, family
and business successes simultaneously. While Dr Dadachanji added to the issues
raised by her in her speech, the young Editor of Grazia India, Ms
Mehernaaz Dhondy exemplified the ability for Parsi women to reach the heights
of a professional career, alongside raising happy children.
Dr Shernaz Cama,
Director, UNESCO Parzor introduced the Programme and moderated the Panel.
Ms Kritika Mudgal,
Programme Coordinator, Parzor Foundation, delivered the Vote of Thanks.
The Panel then took questions from the audience and Press. The event concluded with Parsi refreshments enjoyed by all.
