T.S.

These experiences inspired me to think about how we could make a more substantial and lasting impact. It was this reflection that led to the establishment of the Kalyan Jewellers Dialysis Centre in Muthuvara, through our Foundation.”

This inauguration marks a significant step in the Kalyan Jewellers Foundation’s ongoing commitment to creating meaningful social impact and supporting community wellbeing. Developed with a total investment of approximately ₹12.5 crore, the centre is equipped with 14 dialysis machines and provides free dialysis treatment and doctor consultations to economically disadvantaged patients identified through a structured screening process. Operating two shifts a day, six days a week, the facility can conduct around 700 dialysis sessions each month. In the second phase, the centre is expected to expand its capacity to approximately 1,000 sessions per month, further extending its reach to those in need.
