Education Section
In the background of centuries old tradition of endeavours to find an ideal system of education, Shrii Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar in the year 1962 laid the foundations of an eclectic educational system based on universalism. Recognising the limited capability of existing educational systems to produce sadvipras, He laid out a step-by-step educational approach to fathom the different levels of consciousness and create individuals who could pave the way for One Universal Society on this planet. The Neo-Humanist Education (NHE) Model of Shrii P.R. Sarkar is the consummation of human efforts of thousands of years to build an education system which is a unique combination of tradition and modernity, analysis and synthesis, rationality and devotion, peace and justice.
Shrii P.R.Sarkar defined acronym EDUCATION as comprising of:
- Enlargement of Mind
- DESMEP (Discipline, Etiquette, Smartness, Morality, English and Pronunciation)
- Universal Outlook
- Character
- Active habits
- Trustworthiness
- Ideation of the Great
- Omniscient Grace
- Nice Temperament
