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.
