Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani has been working for the welfare of the Zambian nation for a long time. Since his early establishments and early successes, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani has been actively involved in philanthropic and charitable activities. These contributions range from education, societal, community and environmental protection. Most of his contributions are private and Dr. Mahtani hardly advertises his contributions and philanthropic activities. Dr. Rajan Mahtani has been actively involved in the educational sector with significant contributions.
One of the major contributions by Dr. Rajan Mahtani in the educational field was the establishment of the Steven Malama Award. This award was established by Finance Bank Zambia which is chaired by Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani. The award was established in the year 2013 in the memory of the late Steven Malama, a noted law professional and distinct member of the bar. To honour the several contributors of Malama who has been a role model for many legal professionals, this award is given on an yearly basis to the top graduating student from the ZIALE (Zambia Institute of Advanced Legal Education). The winning graduate must also qualify for the Bar in their first attempt for being eligible for the award. For the year 2019, this award was received by Emmanuel Bwalya Kaluba. To share his gratitude, Emmanuel shared an article in the ‘Reader’s Forum’ section of the Daily Mail. In this article, Emmanuel thanked Dr. Rajan Mahtani for his significant contribution and recognising the talent, passion and dedication of the graduating law students. The award carries a plaque, a certificate as well as prize money worth K15,000 which has solved financial burden for many students from less privileged sections.
