What is PROUT?
PROUT - the PROgressive Utalisation Theory was propounded in 1959 by
the
eminent philsopher, P.R. Sarkar.
PROUT blends a practical approach to concepts of spiritual realisation
with
an activist and service-oriented theory of social liberation. This
involves
both a social and historical analysis and a socio-economic strategy.
PROUT is based on the idea that a participatory economy and social
equality
are pre-conditions for the creation of an environment that can nurture
an
all-round and balanced
development for each of us.
PROUT is a recipe for social transformation and a model for a
post-capitalist era.
