All India Mahila Congress (AIMC), also referred to as Mahila Congress, is the women's wing of the Indian National Congress (INC).[1] It was founded in 1940 to promote the political and social empowerment of women in India. Currently Alka Lamba heads the All India Mahila Congress as its president appointed on 5 January 2024
An early high point for the organisation was a conference held in Bangalore in mid-1984 attended by Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, and 30,000 delegates.[2]
The All India Mahila Congress (AIMC) is split into regional branches designated as Pradesh Mahila Congress (State Women's Congress) which represents the AIMC in the states and union territories of India.[3] The AIMC consists of the card–holding women members of the Indian National Congress which elects the executive committee and state president of each of the PMCCs.[4][failed verification]
In October 2015 Nagma, who was previously a film actress, was appointed to the office General Secretary.[5] In January 2019 INC president Rahul Gandhi appointed Apsara Reddy as National General Secretary, Reddy being noted as the first transgender office holder in the AIMC.[6]
In March 2020, Aiyshwarya Mahadev was appointed its National Secretary.
