The Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre (KMCC) is an expatriate charity and volunteer organisation for Muslims from the Indian state of Kerala, formed in 1981. It was founded as an official organisation of the All India Muslim League (AIML) under Ummer Bafaki Tangal, and later merged with the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).

History

The two organisations that were active under the separate names of Chandrika Readers' Forum and Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre eventually merged with the merger of their parent organisations, and adopted a common name and operation. Since then, KMCC has promoted the welfare of expatriate Indians through relief activities, C.H. centers, social services such as the construction of houses for the poor, medical aid, educational assistance, and disaster relief.
