The distinctive feature of our Institution is that it endeavours to train students to become holistic human beings. The college aims at a synthesis of spiritual values, high moral standards and scientific spirit of enquiry. We, in this college, firmly believe that physical, ethical and idealistic components of education are as significant as its intellectual component. In order to make our students agents of meaningful social change, we endeavour to provide them with a blend of all these components.

The college has always laid stress on the amalgamation of theoretical and practical knowledge. This comprehensive vision is attained through emphasis on skill based curricula, research projects at graduate and postgraduate levels, Internships and Industrial Training. Apart from the prescribed curricula, skill enhancement programmes for personality enrichment, employability skill development, entrepreneurial initiative development, language skill development etc. are organized regularly.

Equal emphasis is laid on the development of ethical and human values. All out efforts are directed towards transforming our students into socially committed, compassionate and humane individuals. Tutors and mentors pay special attention to this aspect during tutorial meetings. Leading scholars, sociologists, high-profile social workers and alternative-medicine advocates are invited to inspire the students with inspirational life lessons.

The college uses various platforms to inculcate among the students a sense of responsibility towards the underprivileged, zeal to serve the community and love for secular principles. The college has unfalteringly endeavoured to inculcate the values of equality and fraternity among its students and staff. Despite being a minority institute, equal opportunities are granted to all students irrespective of their religious faith, caste or creed. Any kind of caste or creed based discrimination is prohibited on the college campus. Gender sensitization has been a key component of programmes like guest lectures and awareness rallies.

Students are actively involved in Fund Raising Activities to help the needy during natural calamities. They collect clothes, food items, medicines and other relief material for the victims.

Students are encouraged to organize Ardaas Diwas (Prayer Day) and Sahaj Path(Normal recital of Gurbani) at the beginning and end of every academic session. They are motivated to volunteer themselves for frontline service during the local Jor Mel(Religious Congregation) as well as to undertake community service in the adopted villages of the college.

Shaheedi Jor Mel is an annual feature of Fatehgarh Sahib. It is a religious congregation held in December every year at Gurudwara Fatehgarh Sahib to commemorate the martyrdom of the valorous younger sons of the Tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh. Lakhs of devotees throng the place on this historic occasion. Our students assist the District Administration in controlling traffic-flow, providing parking facilities etc. NSS and Red Cross units of the College provide emergency services and also organize Medical, Cancer Awareness and Blood Donation Camps. Special community kitchen is also set up to serve free food to the visiting devotees in order to inculcate the spirit of sharing, service and equality among the students.

Being situated in a rural area with only two small towns in its vicinity, the college is surrounded by villages which are primarily agrarian in character. The people of these villages face several socio-economic and environmental issues. The college has adopted five of these villages to sensitize the students about our social realities and also to motivate them to actively fulfil their social obligations.

The Lab to Land programme launched by the institution also enables the students to connect usefully with the community and contribute towards the betterment of the agrarian segment of society. This programme makes it possible for the institution to transfer the benefits of technology and knowledge to the farmers of the neighbouring villages. The ATM (Agricultural Technology Management) encourages the farmers to undertake bee farming, cultivation of mushrooms, Azolla and other exotic vegetables and strawberry as well as to prepare vermi-compost for use in their fields. By transferring technical know-how and skills to the farmers, students become instrumental in gently pushing the rural youth towards self-employment. Free soil and water testing camps are also arranged to sensitise the farmers about the hazards of excessive and reckless use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides.

Various awareness drives and rallies are organised by the students in association with government and non-government agencies to make the people of these villages aware of environmental degradation and its hazards, social issues such as drug abuse and alcoholism etc. Stubble burning in the villages of Punjab is a cause of grave concern. Students organize Awareness Camps to educate the villagers about the health hazards of stubble burning. Alternate eco-friendly methods to utilize the stubble are recommended and demonstrated. Rallies are organised in these villages to spread awareness about the risks of the use of plastic. Student surveys on the Mismanagement of Water are conducted in these villages and efforts are made to educate the villagers to minimize water wastage in fields as well as homes.

The Alumni Association also helps the farmers financially in times of crisis. Furthermore, besides undertaking plantation drives and organizing medical camps, it donates sewing machines from time to time to empower the rural women and thus lead them to self-sufficiency.

All such activities elevate the morale of the students by giving them a sense of achievement in being socially relevant and helping in the inclusion of the marginalised sections through empowerment. This enriches their personality, whets their academic interest and improves their academic excellence. Besides ensuring social justice through generating equity and giving access to the latest knowledge, it helps the students to find identity, meaning and purpose.

The College makes relentless and concerted efforts in dispensing this three-fold education aimed at developing holistic and responsible individuals to the greatest number. To accomplish this task, the college grants fee concessions to the needy students and provides scholarships from various funds collected by the staff and the clubs and societies of the departments. To encourage meritorious students, the college also grants scholarships and fee waivers to them at the time of admission.
