Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Mahamandal

Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Mahamandal (transl. All India Marathi Literary Federation) abbreviated as ABMSM is a name of Marathi literary organisation in Pune that represents the Marathi language, literature, and culture. It was established in 1961 to represent its founding members Maharashtra Sahitya Parishad, Mumbai Marathi Sahitya Sangh, Marathwada Sahitya Parishad, and Vidarbha Sahitya Sangh.

The founding organizations are considered permanent members of the Federation. Organizations registered in states other than Maharashtra and those abroad, working for their respective regions, can also be included. Currently, affiliated organizations include Marathi Sahitya Parishad (Hyderabad), Marathi Sahitya Sevak Mandal (Goa), Karnataka State Marathi Sahitya Parishad (Gulbarga), Marathi Sahitya Parishad (Telangana), Chhattisgarh Marathi Sahitya Parishad (Bilaspur), and Madhya Pradesh Marathi Sahitya Sangh (Bhopal). Non-representative organizations at the state level can be recognized as associated institutions, such as Marathi Vangmay Parishad (Vadodara). The Mahamandal includes three representatives from each founding institution, one from each affiliated institution, and up to three from all associated institutions.
