AIM (Dr. Ambedkar International Mission) as an organization was founded in Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA in April 1994 by the NRI Ambedkarites. It was after the first ever in-house celebration of Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar’s birth anniversary there in Kuala Lumpur.
AIM was created to contribute to the process of overall development of the suffering untouchables/Dalits/Tribals/Buddhists, whose population in India is more than 250 million. It also aimed to create a sense of identity and also to regain the lost (due to the 2000 year old caste based exploitation and oppression) human personality.
AIM made PAY BACK TO THE SOCIETY as its governing principle of philosophy/operation.
In the last 22 years, AIM has grown into an international organization with functional units in U.S.A, Canada, France, U.A.E, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Malaysia, Japan, Australia etc.
AIM USA was formed in year 2003. It was registered with State of Texas in 2006. AIM became a 501 ( C ) (3) organization in U.S.A in 2009.
The educated class among the followers of Dr.Ambedkar is a product of Dr.Ambedkar’s lifelong struggle for securing the rights of 250 million Dalits, Untouchables and Tribals. Hence the philosophy of PAY BACK TO THE SOCIETY. When an individual or a community or a class, is a beneficiary of a movement, it must discharge its obligations to the very movement it derived benefits from.
