What is the structure of AMP?

AMP was established as a national organization in 2008. There are more than 100 Active Chapters with more than 5000 active volunteers and more than 1,25,000 online connected members all over India.

We are a Section 8 Company (Non-Profit) registered under Companies Act 2013, with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).

How do you begin a chapter?

We encourage you to begin a chapter with like-interested people if there is no chapter in your geographic area, whatever that is. The first step is to hold at least one public program. The next step is to apply to AMP Governing Council for status as local chapter (LC). You can expect considerable help from your region and often from neighbouring chapters.

Who gives a chapter status?

AMP Groups are granted chapter status by the AMP Governing Council.

Chapter status is usually granted after the group

• Has sent membership dues for ten or more people to the national treasurer of AMP
• Who has met regularly for six months and conducted at least 3 Skill Development Lectures in its region.
• Has an internal structure
• Has communicated regularly with their region
• Has adhered to the general policies in the bylaws of AMP.
• Has agreed to participate regularly in and contribute to regional and national bodies both financially as well as intellectually.

When your group has achieved chapter status, active members from the chapter may vote at national elections. The number of votes a chapter has depends on the number of active members in that chapter who have paid the national dues. See the current national Bylaws for the proportioning of votes.

Are there guidelines for programs?

Each chapter has its own character, depending on the interests of the members. Programs may be on the theme of education, the culture, current political or economic situation, or whatever your group is interested in. Many resources are available through the AMP official website. Each Chapter will have to execute the AMP Flagship Programs before starting anything new.
