Sarkar established an organization known as Proutist Universal, specifically for the promotion of PROUT ideals. Among the activities of Proutist Universal are the publication of news and views (through various media) and the establishment of five federations:
- Universal Proutist Farmers Federation (UPFF)
- Universal Proutist Intellectuals Federation (UPIF)
- Universal Proutist Labor Federation (UPLF)
- Universal Proutist Students Federation (UPSF)
- Universal Proutist Youth Federation (UPYF)
Along with Proutist Universal, Sarkar established Girls' PROUT (aka Women Proutists), an organization composed of women and run by women.
In various parts of the world, local social movements inspired by PROUT have evolved (for example, Amra Bangali). And around the world, proutists support new and preexisting movements that are consonant with the ideals of PROUT, for example, movements for economic democracy.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do—I just did it.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
