Education is perhaps one of the most important yet inadequately met needs of our country. Educational needs have undergone a sea change over the past decades and it is vital that we keep pace with this change. Shaping the future of Business and Society depends more on the education system in general and higher education in particular and the institutions of higher education. Present higher education system is required to be improved and the institutions involved in this system have to be made more transparent ant accountable to the society. There is urgent need of creating educational social responsibility (ESR) among the institutions of higher education to create better society which ultimately may result in shaping the future of business. Educational institutions transmit our cultural values to the next generation. During the process of teaching, the teachers while teaching learn the sociocultural norms themselves. They themselves are socialized first in the cultural ways of life. While teaching, they add their own experiences in the knowledge that they received from their parents and teachers. They do not transmit the same without change. By adding their experiences, they make knowledge up-to-date and according to the requirements of the society. They, by transmitting the new knowledge, educate the new generation and thus bring social change. The role of the educational institutions become even greater. They are also important in shaping our attitudes and prepare us for behaving in a certain manner in defined situation. They can supply us instruments by which we can realize our social goals. These goals and values are defined by the system of education prevalent in our society. Hence educational institutions socialize us into useful members of society. Educational institutions can support our young generation to a great extent, but there are certain problems in these institutions that create obstacles in the way. Among them the most important one is poor standard of education. Our educational institutions, unfortunately, are not developed on modern education system. The curricula that are taught to the pupils are mostly obsolete and do not have direct relation with the lives of the students. Moreover, the syllabi are designed to promote the culture of repetition and cramming. The concepts of investigation and inquisitiveness to learn are not nurtured in our educational system. Similarly, there is no room for research and creativity.

A large amount of the credit of the establishment of this institution goes to Mataji Suvratadevi Ruia and her illustrious son, Seth Ramnivas Ramnarain Ruia, who extended a handsome donation of Rs.2,00,000 from the Ramnarain Harnandrai Charitable Trust. In recognition of this gesture, the S. P. Mandali named the institution - RAMNARAIN RUIA COLLEGE.

Ramnarain Ruia Autonomous College was established in 1937 by the Shikshana Prasaraka Mandali of Pune — a Mandali founded by four visionary school teachers in 1888 with the aim of ‘Education for All’. S. P. Mandali’s Ramnarain Ruia College was the first educational institution in the city of Mumbai to be run by a private body, and is now one of 63 institutions under its umbrella.
