Lucknow‘s very first digital population clock not only shows state population count but also national stats. At the time of it’s launch, the clock showcased Uttar Pradesh’s population count at 24,01,99,800. The increasing citizens count not only displays the power that the state brings along but also highlights a huge responsibility the government and natives have against each other.
Placed and administered under the control of Lucknow University, easy availability of data will help students in their research.
