KMCC Logo

The Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre (KMCC)[1] is a global organisation of Muslims from the Indian state of Kerala. It was formed in 1985 by Indian expatriates who support the Indian Union Muslim League.

Organization

Nowadays KMCC is the largest expatriate organisation in the world. It works in the interests of expats from all over India, not just Kerala, and is known for its humanitarian and philanthropic activities. The organisation has paved a path of valuable contributions in the fields of social, cultural and compassionate service. Through its tradition of relentless service KMCC has found a favoured place in the hearts of Gulf Malayalees

Helping expatriates

There is no doubt that for any scribe or scholar in search of the past and present of migration, the first name in organised strength that comes to their mind and flows out from their pen will be that of KMCC. This is an indelible signature etched in golden letters signifying the unparalleled efforts and principled determination of an organisation focused on a magnificent goal. The past leaders have founded this organisation through their strenuous efforts at a time when such progress or development in the areas of technology and employment were unavailable.

History

KMCC represents a tradition of unfortunate make and break in the annals of Muslim League. Two organisations which were active under the separate names of Chandrika Readers’ Forum and Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre eventually became one with the merger of the parent organisations and adopted a common name and path. From thereon Dubai KMCC has remained a dynamic and persistent activist in promoting the welfare and alleviating the day to day problems of expatriate Indians. A rich History encompassing four decades is an expedition laden with experiences beyond the description of any Historian. Excellent organisational skills and varied activities encompassing each and every area of social life have now enabled us to progress through paths hitherto untrodden. It wouldn’t be surprising to say that there isn’t even a single remote village in Kerala where the helping hands of KMCC have not reached. Crores worth of relief activities, activities through C.H. centres, social service activities such as construction of houses for the needy, medical aid, educational assistance, disaster relief, etc. have made us the inheritors of the tradition of a service model. We have in our memories times with and without a headquarters. From meagre facilities we have now grown up to have major facilities. Our stellar growth has resulted from the blessings received through the prayers of the thousands of ordinary people in our membership, our beneficiaries and our well-wishers.
