About Lucknow City

Lucknow is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh and is also the administrative headquarters of the eponymous District and Division. It is the eleventh most populous city and the twelfth most populous urban agglomeration of India. Lucknow has always been known as a multicultural city that flourished as a North Indian cultural and artistic hub, and the seat of power of Nawabs in the 18th and 19th centuries. It continues to be an important centre of governance, administration, education, commerce, aerospace, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, design, culture, tourism, music and poetry.

Bounded on the east by Barabanki, on the west by Unnao, on the south by Raebareli and in the north by Sitapur and Hardoi, Lucknow sits on the northwestern shore of the Gomti River. Hindi is the main language of the city and Urdu is also widely spoken. Lucknow is the centre of Shia Islam in India with the highest Shia Muslim population in India.

Historically, the capital of Awadh was controlled by the Delhi Sultanate which later came under the Mughal rule. It was transferred to the Nawabs of Awadh. In 1856, the British East India Company abolished local rule and took complete control of the city along with the rest of Awadh and, in 1857, transferred it to the British Raj. Along with the rest of India, Lucknow became independent from Britain on 15 August 1947. It has been listed the 17th fastest growing city in India and 74th in the world.

Lucknow, along with Agra and Varanasi, is in the Uttar Pradesh Heritage Arc, a chain of survey triangulations created by the Government of Uttar Pradesh to boost tourism in the state.

The challenges of the new era are particularly severe in emerging markets, where financial sectors are often nascent. In these markets, fiscal resources may not be available to respond to the COVID-19 crisis and post-crisis development needs.

In the light of the above, this conference focuses on the changing dynamics of the Financial System,be Financial Institutions, Financial Markets & Instruments and Financial Services with the respect to growth acceleration, promotions of savings and investment and enhancement of employment. Partnering for Knowledge with Lucknow Management Assosiation and AWOKE India, the aim of the conference is to focus on the financial conglomerates-Institutions, Markets, Instruments, Services, and Digital Transformation.
