It is very difficult to do justice to this Institution, almost 350 years old like the Bombay Parsi Punchayet. It has passed through many phases, ups and downs, and has faced all storms from within and without, a healthy social body, it has been unique example for Bombay Parsi Punchayet to survive.
It has successfully evolved over the years, helping the Community Members in every field. It should be the effort of every Parsi to see that this Premier Body of the Parsis not only survives, but remain alive and ticking for the benefit of its great Community.
