A Medicinal Plant Garden and a well-equipped dispensary support practical education in rural healthcare.

The admission process in Sabar Gram Seva Mahavidyalaya is governed mainly by its affiliating university, Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University. In regard to the MSW programme, all admissions are based on merit so that meritorious students get a chance to pursue their interest in the field of social work. The same is true for the BRS programme, where admissions are centrally managed based on merit by HNGU. This approach ensures transparency and fairness in the selection of students. The commitment to rural development taken to a higher plane by the alumni network of this college must probably be having many substantial contributors to social welfare and rural upliftment across Gujarat and beyond.
