The National Law School of India University (NLSIU) in Bengaluru has announced the Rajiv K. Luthra Foundation grant which will support three key initiatives at the university: the renovation of the Academic Wing of the Old Academic Block, the creation of two Rajiv K. Luthra Gold Medals, and the establishment of an Annual Lecture Series.

The Old Academic Block (OAB), constructed in 1988, serves as the historic centre for academic and administrative functions at the University. Plans are underway to renovate and expand the OAB into two sections: the Faculty Wing and the Academic Wing. Funding from the RKL Foundation will be utilized to refurbish the Academic Wing, which includes redesigning current facilities and constructing new classrooms and seminar rooms. This updated section will be named as the 'Rajiv K. Luthra Academic Wing'.

This grant will endow two gold medals in perpetuity in the memory of Shri. Rajiv K Luthra. These gold medals will be awarded to two deserving students – one from the graduating class of the 5-Year BA LLB (Hons), and another from the graduating class of the 3-Year LLB (Hons) programme.       

Remarking on this collaboration, Gayatri Luthra, Chairperson, Rajiv K. Luthra Foundation said: “We are immensely proud to announce our partnership with NLS, Bengaluru as we embark on a transformative journey together to expand educational opportunities and foster academic excellence. NLS always held a uniquely special role in Rajiv’s heart and we are very happy to be participating in the next phase of the University’s journey as it expands its infrastructural facilities. The Rajiv K. Luthra memorial medals will inspire students to reach greater heights of academic excellence even in the face of adversity.”

NLSIU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Sudhir Krishnaswamy said: “Shri. Rajiv K Luthra was a friend and supporter of the National Law School of India University, Bengaluru. Today, we extend his legacy at NLSIU by redeveloping the academic wing of the Old Academic Block, endowing two gold medals, and institutionalising a new annual lecture series, in his name. We are grateful to Ms. Gayathri Luthra and the Rajiv K Luthra Foundation for this grant. We are confident that with their support, we will develop more enduring ways to celebrate his legacy, and encourage the education of future leaders of the legal profession.”
