What is PROUT?
Prout is the acronym for Progressive Utilisation Theory. It is a social and economic theory developed in 1959
by the late Indian scholar-author and activist Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. Mr. Sarkar sought a practical alternative
to the theories of Marxism (communism) and Capitalism. Prout is based on universal values recognizing and
protecting the rights of all to the fulfillment of their basic needs; the protection of the environment, plants and
animals; and a dynamic, incentive-based multi-tiered economy with local and cooperatively-employee-owned
enterprises at it core. It encourages a balance in the effort of satisfying individual and collective needs.
No one should be left behind as society marches forward. For more info, please refer to the section on
