All India Kisan Sabha (Ashoka Road)
All India Kisan Sabha (Akhil Bharatiya Kisan Sabha) (AIKS), is the peasants front of Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)), and works for farmers rights and anti-feudal movement in India, which traces its origin to All India Kisan Sabha founded in 1936.
It is sometimes referred to as All India Kisan Sabha (Ashoka Road), to distinguish it from the AIKS of Communist Party of India. Both the Kisan federations are derived from the All India Kisan Sabha started by Swami Sahajanand Saraswati in 1936. The AIKS of CPI is sometimes called AIKS (Ajoy Bhavan).
