The All India Backward (SC, ST, OBC) And Minority Communities Employees Federation, known as BAMCEF, is an organization of employees from Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC) and Religious Minority Communities (Christian,Muslims, Buddhist, Jain, Sikhs,Lingayat, Shivdharmi etc.) [1][2]) in India.

The concept of BAMCEF association was conceived in 1972. Manyvar Kanshiram who collaborated with his colleagues Mr. D. K. Khaparde, Mn Deena Bhana, Mn Ram Khobragade, C.P Thorat, Namdevo Kamble, Mahonar Aate and other colleagues to build the initiative. After six years of rigorous fieldwork all over India, "The Birth of BAMCEF Convention" was held in Delhi in 1978 and organization was then officially launched as a "Federation" on 6 December 1978 on the Parinirvan Divas (death anniversary) of Dr. Baba Saheb B. R. Ambedkar. the Architect of the Indian Constitution.[1][3] Ideology of BAMCEF is to fight against brahmnical system of inequality which is dividing society on the basis of graded inequity and creating communal gap between different caste of Hindu, also to establish equality in society and to implement anti caste system thought in Indians for better tomorrow, and educates Backward Class people about history and contribution of their forefathers and truths of brahminical system.

Manifesto

The organization, which celebrated its silver jubilee in 2008, upholds an ethos that states that the victims of systemic inequality in India are, naturally, the only people who can uproot the existing social structure.

History

As an employee in the Defence Research and Development Laboratory in Pune, Kanshiram realized that the formation of a bahujan bureaucracy was important if dalits' interests were to be served. He set about forming a federation, through which he worked his way into the higher echelons of bureaucracy. By identifying a few zealous officers he was able to influence lower staff.

The motto of the organization was Pay back to society, to inspire the dalit bureaucrats to do their bit for the dalit masses. In this way, a continuous supply of intellect, money, and talent was ensured. Kanshiram did not want to make the BAMCEF merely an employees' union. Rather, he wanted it to become the organisation of educated bahujan employees: "the think tank, talent bank, and financial bank of the bahujan samaj".[4]

BAMCEF raised funds to promote their agenda and for training. Kanshi Ram appointed state-level conveners as well as mandal conveners to act as links between state and district levels.[5]

Knowing the limitations of BAMCEF, The Dalit Shoshit Samaj Sangharsh Samiti (DS4) had been formed in 1981. This organisation made impact on people in North as well as South India. Later was in the leadership of Ishaan Singh Tomar. Before formation of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), the DS4 entered in local elections in Delhi and Haryana in the name of "Limited Political Action". Later on Kanshiram dissolved the DS4 and formed a completely political wing Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). This caused strain within the ranks of the BAMCEF.[6]

In early 1986, BAMCEF split. Kanshiram announced that he was no longer willing to work for any organisation other than the BSP.[7] In 1987, without Kanshiram, D.K. Khaparde together with other colleagues, registered BAMCEF.[8] Since then, one element of BAMCEF, which was associated with Kanshi Ram, has been converted into a shadow organization to help the BSP in electoral mobilization. Those remaining in BAMCEF, after Kanshiram's departure, registered as an independent BAMCEF a non political organisation. Yashkai DK Khaprde saheb introduced Democracy in BAMCEF and BAMCEF accepted Institutional leadership. Yashkai D K Khaprde was national President of BAMCEF and after the 16th National convention of BAMCEF in 1999 at Patna, Bihar, he suffered from abdomen cancer and succumbed to death on 29 February 2000 at Pune. He was a symbol of self sacrificed full of dedication and commitment to Phule-Ambedkar movement for the cause of social revolution in India got Parinirvan in year 2000 and after that D K Khaparde Memorial Trust has been established at Ringnabodi Nagpur in his memory in 25 Acre of land under Chairmenship of Mn B D Borkar. Mn B D Borkar was National President BAMCEF since 2003 to 2007. After that Dr Chandu Mhske ji was elected as National President BAMCEF since 2008 to 2009.
