The college has been aiming to promote students' overall growth. All pharmacy programmes now require a variety of courses, including Human Values and Professional Ethics and Environmental Studies, to address topics like gender equality, sustainability, and human values and ethics. Open electives include classes on disaster management, non-conventional energy sources, and other topics.

Human values and professional Ethics:

The university offers two courses on these topics as credit courses during the academic terms for all pharmacy in an effort to instil Moral, Social, and Ethical principles. These classes aid students in developing a global perspective on their job, society, and self. It places a strong emphasis on having a comprehensive understanding of moral behaviour, as well as on being trustworthy and understanding of others. In order to promote national integrity, human values, and communal harmony, the college also holds blood donation camps, eye camps and awareness programmes in the adjacent villages.
