Dadabhai Naroji was the President of the Indian National Congress from 1886 to 1887, from 1893 to 94 and from 1906 to 1907. In 1892, he became the first Asian who was elected to the British Parliament from the seat of Finsbury Central. He is also known as the ‘Grand Old Man of India’. Two important theoretical contribution of Naroji is the ‘drain theory’ and his book ‘Poverty and Un-British Rule in India’. Through his idea of ‘drain theory’ he provided an estimation of wealth that has been drained from India to Britain during the British rule in the country. He also calculated the amount of profit India made in those countries and the effects of colonial rule.
Surendranath Banerjee is one of the members who played an important role behind the foundation of the Indian National Congress. He was a professor, journalist and a political leader. He edited the newspaper ‘Bengalee’ for 40 years. Prior to the foundation of the INC he also founded a political party with Ananadomohan Bose. This political party ‘Indian National Association’ is one of the very few political organisations founded at that time. He also served as a Congress President at Poona in the year 1895 and at Ahmedabad in 1902. Banerjee was a leader of the moderate Congress which is different from the extremists.

With the help of its committees and departments the AICC looks after the role of INC in various sectors of various states where INC committees and supporters are present. INC is one of the largest political parties in India and hence its executive body which is the AICC consists of members from all state provinces of the country. Hence, without the formation of the AICC, the functioning of a national party like the Congress was impossible.
