BASF is a collective of Dalit, Adivasi, Muslim, NTs/DNTs, and other marginalized youths who are mostly the 1st generation learners. The forum operates in 12 districts of Bihar through the Ambedkar Fellowship programme with over 3500 members formed in 2012. Since the formation, the democratic values have been the seed of this forum, and all the fellows are elected through a democratic system where even the local communities participate in choosing their representatives in the form of fellows.
