Mr. Narsi Kularia is well known for his contributions to community welfare and has had a lasting impact on the region. In 2020, he initiated a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project aimed at enhancing healthcare services in Seelwa. The founding bricks of this healthcare center were laid with the objective of improving healthcare infrastructure.

Furthermore, the inauguration ceremony was attended by several dignified personalities, including the Chief Minister of Rajasthan-Bhajan Lal Sharma, 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.

Union Minister of Tourism and Culture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, who had honored the occasion as a special guest, expressed his gratitude for the Kularia family in his native language, Marwari. He joyously stated, “I thank the Kularia family for investing the money in the right place and repaying the debt of the motherland. In addition to the healthcare center, the Narsi family has also designed the interior of the New Parliament Building and Bharat Mandapam. The Kularia family invests its earnings in social welfare without any hesitation."  

Additionally, the Chief Minister displayed his admiration for Mr. Narsi Kularia by stating, "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." In addition, the Chief Minister has pledged to develop this Primary Healthcare Canter into a Community Healthcare Center. Therefore, the main agenda for the government is to strengthen healthcare services across the state and uplift the local community.

Moreover, the PHC not only stands as a powerful service for local healthcare but also honors the memory of Sant Shri Dularam Kularia, whose legacy inspired the establishment of this facility. The PHC is built in his memory: a commitment to improving the lives of those in the community. Sant Shri Dularam Kularia is the father of Mr. Narsi Kularia, Managing Director of Narsi Interior Infrastructures Pvt Ltd, and grandfather of Mr. Jagdish Kularia, Director of Narsi Interior Infrastructures Pvt Ltd . Thus, the handover of the facility represents significant progress in local healthcare and pays respect to the values and contributions of Sant Shri Dularam Kularia.

The PHC offers multiple benefits to positively impact the community in the healthcare sector as well as environmentally. Firstly, it has high-tech medical facilities and an operation theatre. Additionally, it has an X-ray, CBC facilities, a 24-hour pharmacy, and an OPD for first aid. Furthermore, the PHC provides 8 and 14 beds for men and women, respectively. And secondly, it has a 50,000-liter rainwater harvesting tank to reduce carbon footprints. It is designed to use water and support the center's operations in an eco-friendly manner.

Built at the remarkable cost of Rs 15 crores, the healthcare center covers 12100 square yards. It provides the local community with proper medical services and facilities. And due to its sustainable features, it ensures a reliable water supply. Hence, the healthcare center fulfills its commitment to improving the healthcare sector and the environment.
