The Institute for Social and Economic Change's (ISEC) Population Research Centre has launched a digital population clock and Census Data Research Workstation to provide real-time estimates of the population of Karnataka and India.

• The clock is the first-of-its-kind in the region, jointly set up by ISEC and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India.
• Using an inbuilt satellite connection for precise timekeeping, the clock will update the estimated population every two seconds for India and every one minute and 10 seconds for Karnataka.
• The clock is stationed near the institute's main gate.
