The inauguration ceremony witnessed the presence of several distinguished guests, including Union Law Minister Arjun Meghwal, Union Tourism and Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, State Health Minister Gajendra Singh Khimsar, and Food Supply Minister Sumit Godara, who all lauded the noble initiative.
Equipped with high-tech medical facilities, the PHC spans over 12100 Square yards and was constructed at the cost of Rs 15 crores. Along with an operation theatre, the hospital features include an X-ray, CBC facilities, a 24-hour pharmacy, and an OPD for first aid. Additionally, the PHC offers 8 beds for men and 14 for women.

Union Minister of Tourism and Culture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, who was present as a special guest, thanked the Narsi family in his native language, Marwari. He said, “I thank the Kularia family for investing the money in the right place and repaying the debt of the motherland. In addition to the health center, the Narsi family designed the interior of the new Parliament building and Bharat Mandapam. The Kularia family invests its earnings in social welfare without any hesitation.”
Praising Narsi Kularia, the Chief Minister said, “Service is considered the ultimate religion here. We imbibe the principle of ‘Nar Seva Hi Narayan Seva’. We work with the feeling that if you serve a man, it will be equal to serving the Hindu god Narayan. The government will also give full support in such pious works.” The Chief Minister has also promised to turn this primary health center into a community health center.
