'''Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha''' (''society for the propagation of [[Ananda Marga]]''), abbreviated as '''AMPS''', is the foundation of [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]] for which he is best known. Sarkar founded this global, socio-spiritual organization in [[:wikipedia:Jamalpur, Munger|Jamalpur]], [[:wikipedia:Bihar|Bihar]], India in 1955. From 1955 until his death in 1990, Sarkar frequently expanded the [[#Scope of AMPS|scope of AMPS]] and continually adjusted its inner workings. | |||

The '''organizational''' side of AMPS consists of elected organizational positions and some elected top-level boards. There are also advisory committees and boards (ACBs) for various departments as well as some executive committees and boards, all of which are typically constituted by an elected officeholder. For example, the Purodha Pramukha (the highest authority in AMPS), the Purodha Board, and the Central Committee are all elected by the body of all recognized [[purodha]]s (purodhas in good organizational standing). The Purodha Pramukha is the ex-officio ''chairperson'' of the Purodha Board and also the ex-officio ''president'' of the Central Committee (often referred to as the ''president'' of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha). As president of the Central Committee, the Purodha Pramukha has the duty and authority to form the Central Executive.<ref name=CC1>{{cite book | The '''organizational''' side of AMPS consists of elected organizational positions and some elected top-level boards.
