The first All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) was formed in 1920 in Bombay. While various leaders were involved in its formation, N. M. Joshi was one of the key figures and served as the first General Secretary of AITUC.
AITUC was a significant milestone in the organized labour movement in India, bringing together various trade unions under a single national umbrella.
Lala Lajpat Rai was the first President of AITUC. Other prominent leaders associated with its formation included Motilal Nehru, Annie Besant, C. R. Das, and Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya. The formation of AITUC was influenced by the growth of the labour movement during and after World War I and the establishment of the International Labour Organization (ILO), which required member countries to send representatives from labour organizations.
