The All India Backward and Minority Communities Employees Federation, abbreviated as BAMCEF, is an organisation for employees of oppressed communities that was established in 1971 by Kanshi Ram, D. K. Khaparde, and Dinabhana. The term got its significance from the Constitution of India, which categories the oppressed and exploited communities into classes on the basis of their status: Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Class (OBC) and Minority Communities.
BAMCEF started at a convention held in Delhi in 1978, with an official launch on 6 December 1978, the death anniversary of B. R. Ambedkar.[3] The ideology of BAMCEF is to fight against the rooted system of inequality that divides the Indian citizens and to abolish the caste system.
Kanshiram developed BAMCEF based on Dr. Ambedkar's ideology and thoughts to organize the educated people from SC, ST, OBC and Minority communities. The main purpose behind this was to educate the society and make them powerful enough to capture the political power, which was the dream of Dr. Ambedkar in order to make India a developed country.
