AGARTALA: Joining the global celebrations of International Women’s Day, the Girls Proutist Social Organisation (GPSO)—an affiliate of the Ananda Marga mission—organized a massive rally and a commemorative meeting in the heart of the capital city today. The event aimed at promoting the “Proutist” philosophy of socio-economic justice and spiritual empowerment for women.
The program commenced with a vibrant procession that passed through the city’s main landmarks, culminating in a significant public gathering at Orient Chowmuhani.
A Call for Neo-Humanism and Empowerment
The leadership of the Girls Proutist Social Organisation highlighted that true women’s liberation can only be achieved through a holistic approach that balances physical security, economic independence, and spiritual growth.
Key Agendas Raised:
- Economic Self-Reliance: Following the principles of P.R. Sarkar’s PROUT (Progressive Utilization Theory), the organization demanded decentralized economic zones to provide employment to rural and urban women.
- Moral Education: The speakers emphasized the need for a value-based education system in schools to foster respect for women from a young age.
- Security & Safety: In light of contemporary challenges, the GPSO urged the administration to take stricter measures to ensure the safety of women in public spaces and workplaces.
Spiritual Strength for Social Change
The meeting at Orient Chowmuhani was marked by devotional songs and speeches reflecting the Ananda Marga ideology. The organizers stated that women are the “shakti” (power) of society and that their degradation leads to the downfall of civilization.
”A society is judged by the dignity it accords to its women. Our movement is not just for political rights, but for the fundamental right of every woman to live with honor and lead the society toward a moral path,” a senior coordinator of the GPSO remarked.
Unified Resolution
The participants, including many young students and social workers, took a pledge to work toward a “Neo-Humanist” society where exploitation based on gender or caste is eradicated. The event concluded with a peaceful demonstration, adding another layer to the diverse Women’s Day activities witnessed in Agartala today.
