Open the PostgreSQL shell. You can find the PSQL Shell in the Start Menu.
The shell will prompt you for Server, Database, Port, and Username details. Set it to default by clicking on the Enter button in the keyboard without providing any value. Finally, the shell will prompt you for the Password. Provide the password that you used during the PostgreSQL installation.
Create a PostgreSQL database via the following steps (here, kesha and 1234 are dummy user credentials):

CREATE DATABASE indiatoday;
CREATE USER kesha WITH PASSWORD '1234';
ALTER ROLE kesha SET client_encoding TO 'utf8';
ALTER ROLE kesha SET default_transaction_isolation TO 'read committed';
ALTER ROLE kesha SET timezone TO 'UTC';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE indiatoday TO kesha;

To make sure that you have connected and uploaded schema to the PostgreSQL database.

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

Load the dummy database to PostgreSQL with

python manage.py loaddata dumpdata.json
