The circumstances in which BCMSangh came into existence in the trade union field of India have shaped its significant role in the trade union movement. BHARATIYA LABOUR UNION was founded on (Vasant Panchmi) the day being celebrated Sarswati puja.Two important aspects stand out in connection with this:
• (a) Formation of BHARATIYA CONSTURCTION MAJDOOR SANGH was not the result of split in the exist
ing trade union organisations, unlike in the case of almost all other trade unions. Hence it had the formidable responsibility of building its organisational structure from the grass root level.
• (b) On the very first day it was visualised as a trade union whose base-sheet anchors – would be Nationalism, would work as a genuine trade union, keeping itself scrupulously away from party politics. This was also unlike other trade unions which were linked to one or the other political party, overtly or otherwise. Dawn of BHARATIYA CONSTURCTION MAJDOOR SANGH, therefore, can be truly described as watershed in the course of trade union field.
