Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar's Neo-Humanism presents a progressive and holistic educational philosophy that aligns with inclusive and value-based education, emphasizing the development of all human faculties, social cohesion, and universal human values. Neo-Humanism challenges conventional educational paradigms by proposing an integrated approach that nurtures both intellect and spirit. This framework focuses on the collective well-being of individuals, integrating education with ethics, morality, and a sense of responsibility towards both humanity and the environment. The Neo-Humanist approach encourages educators to cultivate a learning environment that respects diversity, fosters creativity, and ensures equitable opportunities for all learners, including marginalized and differently abled students. Through the application of Sarkar's principles, education can transcend knowledge transmission and become a transformative tool for societal progress, fostering compassionate, socially aware, and empowered individuals. This paper examines the relevance and applicability of Neo-Humanism in contemporary educational settings, particularly in promoting inclusivity, equity, and universal human values.
