I am new at this so please bear with me. I need help with the LCD.i am using it in 8 bit mode . the LCD is not even on although everything is connected. I could be making a silly mistake.Need help debugging.
 

There is an example of building a digital clock using this chip. You can take the LCD part from there and compare it to yours.
Check the code of picnote https://picnote.blogspot.com/2008/06/ds1307-pic16f877a.html.
It contains LCD code in C.
You can download MikroC evaluation and it will work with the code.

Thats good. Actually the MikroC manual have good examples you can build on top of them.
