PMDG incorporates a modern curriculum that includes practical skills such as business management, agribusiness, and information technology in its learning. Thus, it succeeds in instilling entrepreneurial character among the santri, which in turn has an impact on the surrounding community. In addition, the economic programs also implemented by PMDG such as pesantren cooperatives, productive waqf and zakat, and ecology-based activities not only increase the independence of the institution, but also empower the surrounding community economically.
