The Kalyan Jewellers Dialysis Centre (KJD) in Muthuvara, Thrissur, was inaugurated today by Shri Pinarayi Vijayan, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Kerala. The inauguration ceremony was graced by the presence of several dignitaries, including Mr. T.S. Kalyanaraman, Managing Director of Kalyan Jewellers, and Mr. Vinod Rai, Chairman of the Board. Also in attendance were Mr. Xavier Chittilappilly, Member of the Kerala Legislative Assembly, and Rev. Fr. Julious Arakkal CMI, Director of the Amala Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS).
Senior Leadership Participation
Senior leadership from the Kalyan Jewellers also participated in the event. Executive Directors Mr. Rajesh Kalyanaraman and Mr. Ramesh Kalyanaraman, along with Independent Directors Mr. A.D.M. Chavali and Mr. C.R. Raghavopalan, were present. Mr. T.S. Anantharaman (Kalyan Vastralaya), Mr. T.S. Pattabhiraman (Kalyan Silks), Mr. T.S. Balaraman (Kalyan Enterprise), Mr. T.S. Ramachandran (Kalyan Sarees), and Mr. Karthik R. (Kalyan Developers) were also present.
Chief Minister’s Speech
Speaking at the inauguration, Shri Pinarayi Vijayan, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Kerala, said, “Kalyan Jewellers Dialysis Center is a service that will greatly benefit society. This is an example of Kalyan Jewellers’ social commitment, a company that has made significant contributions to the economic and industrial development of the region. Kidney-related diseases are on the rise today, and there are many dialysis patients in the state. Dialysis treatment is expensive, and this center will become a great support for those who struggle to afford it,” the Chief Minister said.
Centre Details
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.
T.S. Kalyanaraman Quote
Mr. T.S. Kalyanaraman, Managing Director, Kalyan Jewellers Foundation, said, “Over the years, in my personal capacity, I have been able to help many individuals access treatment, and I have witnessed firsthand the challenges that patients and their families face in such situations. 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.”
Public Health Need
This initiative addresses an urgent public health need: a study in Kerala shows that the prevalence of chronic renal failure among adults is 4.8%, with contributing factors such as diabetes and hypertension rising sharply. The Kalyan Jewellers Dialysis Centre provides patients with accessible, compassionate, and professional care. Healthcare management is supported by the Amala Institute of Medical Sciences, which oversees day-to-day operations, medical protocols, doctor consultations, and patient care, ensuring consistent, high-quality services for all beneficiaries.
Foundation’s Vision
Guided by the vision of Mr. T.S. Kalyanaraman, the Kalyan Jewellers Foundation creates meaningful social impact across healthcare, education, disaster relief, and sustainable development. Through its Crafting Futures programme, the Foundation empowers jewellery artisans with training and support to grow their craft. It has also contributed to the Kerala CMDRF during crises such as landslides, floods, and COVID relief efforts. Upholding the philosophy of “pay it forward,” the Foundation partners with initiatives including the Bhoomigeetham Project, Housing For All, and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, benefitting over 900 families across India.
Closing Statement
The inauguration of the Kalyan Jewellers Dialysis Centre underscores the Foundation’s commitment to inclusive healthcare access and community wellbeing, translating corporate purpose into tangible, human-centred impact.
