MR. SUBHASH RUNWAL ACHIEVEMENTS
Mr. Runwal’s guiding principle, “Nothing is impossible with hard work, sincerity and farsightedness” is what laid the foundation for his stupendous success in the Real Estate industry, making him one of the leading Real Estate and Mall Developers in the Country.A well-known name in the Jain Community and the Real Estate industry, Mr. Subhash S. Runwal was born in the year 1943, under very adverse circumstances. His sheer determination and confidence to come out of this adversity led him to complete his initial schooling from Dhule, (M.S.) get a graduate degree from the Pune University and then obtain a professional degree in Chartered Accountancy in 1967, ranking 5th all over India. He then worked as a professional, rising quickly to the ranks to be a part of the highest management in a short span of 9 years.
Mr. Subhash S. Runwal is a man who has always believed in facing challenges head on and charting new paths. He then quit his professional job to venture on his entrepreneurial career, which led to the foundation of the RUNWAL GROUP in 1978, which, today, is recognised among the leading Real Estate Developers of India.

INAUGURATION OF DIALYSIS CENTRE AT RAJAWADI HOSPITAL
Subhash Runwal Education Foundation, in one of its kind movements to fight Cancer in the country, has made the diagnosis possible at our doorsteps, with India’s first Mobile Cancer Detection Van. The Mobile Cancer Detection Van visits various parts of the country inviting people to test for Cancer. Subhash Runwal Education Foundation has donated this van to Marvadi Yuva Manch to operate it. At the inauguration function, the Honourable Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis said, “This is a very good way to fight the deadly diseases like Cancer. If detected early one can fight it with medical help. Early detection is the best prevention. I congratulate Subhash Runwal Education Foundation for coming up with this innovative idea to promote check-ups and I wish all good luck to Marvadi Yuva Manch for their efforts in creating awareness through this van.”Mr Subhash Runwal, Chairman of the Foundation said, “We always live in the world of denial. Nothing can happen to me – mentality is so strong that people generally do not tend to go for medical check-ups of life-threatening diseases. And it gets too late when they really face the threat. This van will motivate more people for check-ups and this is how we intend to make a small but significant change in the society.”
Starting from Mumbai, the van will move in various parts of the country. The state-of-the-art van is equipped with Mammography Machine, Biopsy Machine, X ray Machine, Centrifuge, Microscopes, Biochemical Analyzer, along with qualified technicians and doctors. This van can undertake diagnosis for Breast Cancer, Skin Cancer and various types of cancer.
The objective of the van is for early detection of Cancer among citizens, who usually are not aware that they could be having cancer too. In the trial run from Delhi to Mumbai, 6 camps were conducted and of over 200 people tested, over 70 were found to have various kinds of cancer in first stage. This early detection would help save their lives. Thus, the Mobile Cancer van on its journey across the country would be able to reach out to and help thousands of people every year.
Through his various initiatives and models for contributing to the society, Mr. Subhash S Runwal has proven that a fulfilling life and business can only be achieved by keeping the betterment of the society at the heart of our activities and thought process. It is this vision of creating the differentiated and contributing to the society that drives the Group ahead, towards creating a better future for not only its customers and associates, but also its community and society.
Mr. Runwal is the recipient of the Samaj Ratna award at the hands of the Ex-President Smt. Pratibhatai Patil for his contributions towards various social activities for the upliftment of the poor and downtrodden.
Sthree Shikshan Sanstha at Dhule is one of the oldest educational institution providing education to more than 6000 children every year. It was Mr. Runwal‘s long time intention to provide better facilities to the children studying at this Institution. In August 2014, Mr. Runwal donated an amount of Rs.31 lacs to this Institution for construction of a building where courses related to Law will be conducted and for latest amenities which would help the students in their day to day studies. As a goodwill gesture the Institute has named the campus in Mrs. Chanda Runwal’s name to be known as “Sow. Chandadevi Subhashchandra Runwal Shaikshanik Sankool”.
