The All India Congress Committee (AICC) is the presidium or the central decision-making assembly of the Indian National Congress. It is composed of members elected from state-level Pradesh Congress Committees and can have as many as a thousand members. It is the AICC that elects members of the Congress Working Committee and the Congress President, who is also the head of the AICC.
The organisational executives of the AICC are several general-secretaries selected by the Congress President and the members of the Congress Working Committee. AICC is responsible for decision-making and policy formulation for the party at the national level. It also sets the party's agenda and strategies for national and state-level elections.
History The original headquarters of AICC were located at Swaraj Bhavan, Allahabad, however after independence of India in 1947, it was shifted to 7, Jantar Mantar Marg, near Jantar Mantar, Delhi and subsequently to 24 Akbar Road, right behind 10 Janpath, after the 1969 Congress split, under Indira Gandhi. Pre independence Although the Congress was founded in 1885, it initially operated through annual meetings without a permanent central administrative structure. The AICC emerged in its institutional form following the reorganisation of the Congress at the Nagpur Session 1920, when a new constitution was adopted to transform the party into a mass-based organisation. This restructuring introduced a system of elected representatives from Provincial Congress Committees, thereby establishing the AICC as a representative central body.
In the pre-independence period, the AICC served primarily as the coordinating link between the Congress leadership and its provincial units. It was responsible for framing and approving organisational resolutions, maintaining communication across regions, and ensuring the implementation of decisions taken by the party leadership. The early headquarters of the AICC were located at Swaraj Bhavan in Allahabad, which functioned as an important administrative centre for Congress activities.
Post independence Following the Independence of India, the role of the AICC underwent a significant transformation as the Congress transitioned from a national movement to a governing political party. The organisation assumed greater responsibility in managing party affairs across the country, coordinating with state units, and supporting the functioning of the party within the framework of parliamentary democracy.
Today, its institutional records are part of the Archives at the Nehru Memorial Museum & Library, at Teen Murti House, Delhi.
Organisation The organisation is headed by the Congress President, who is elected by the All India Congress Committee. The AICC on the other hand is composed of delegates sent by the various State–level Pradesh Congress Committees, who themselves have been elected or nominated to their respective Pradesh Congress Committee from the district and panchayat level party units. Besides the President, these delegates also elect the Congress Working Committee, which is the apex decision-making body of the organisation. Several General Secretaries are also appointed by the President to run the organisation.
