Some of the major courses in the medical field of the university included nursing and paramedical courses, undergraduate, post graduate, post doctoral courses, specialists and super specialists with all modern and quality medical services. Rs 100 crore has been sanctioned to build up the whole academy and more than 300 bed super specialty hospital would be facilitated. Over 178 acres of panchayat land is accorded for building the university and the Council of Ministers is involved in selecting the stuff.

Whereas, in India numerous young women are rarely encouraged to pursue careers in astronautical science, Chawla became a hero to girls all across India. And now Kalpana Chawla University will help them build their own career like hers. The objective is to providing the largest medical institution in the state.
