Rajiv. K Luthra Foundation and NLU Jodhpur sign MoU to establish the Rajiv K. Luthra NLUJ Accessibility Lab

In a significant step towards strengthening disability inclusion and accessible legal education, the Rajiv K. Luthra Foundation and National Law University, Jodhpur (NLUJ) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish the Rajiv K. Luthra-NLUJ Accessibility Lab on the university campus.

Designed to support students across visual, auditory, locomotor, learning, and other disabilities through both academic and infrastructural assistance – the facility will be a state-of-the-art dedicated accessibility hub. The Lab will focus on enhancing access to learning resources through assistive technologies while also fostering research and policy initiatives in the field of disability rights and accessibility.

Named in honour of the late Rajiv K. Luthra, one of India’s most eminent corporate lawyers and a strong advocate for equal opportunity, the Lab will serve as a multi-functional space equipped with assistive devices, accessible digital repositories, and training modules tailored for persons with disabilities.

As part of the collaboration, two students with disabilities from NLUJ will be offered annual internship opportunities at Luthra and Luthra Law Offices, one of India’s leading law firms. This initiative aims to create tangible professional exposure and promote stronger representation of persons with disabilities within the legal profession.

The Rajiv K. Luthra – NLUJ Accessibility Lab, one of the first institutionalised accessibility facilities of this scale and vision in India’s higher education ecosystem, will be fully functional by February 2026.
