Importance of the IST

• The local time of places which lie on the "different meridians vary". It is, thus, essential to adopt the "local time" of certain "central meridian" of a nation as the "standard time" for the nation for the purpose of "uniformity".
• In India, the "longitude" of 82°E (82°30'E) is taken as "standard meridian" & the "local time" at this "meridian" is regarded as the "standard time" for the entire nation. This is referred to the "Indian Standard Time" (IST).
• IST helps in organising "uniform schedule" for program which are connected all throughout the nation such as railway & flight transport timings, TV & Radio broadcast
• Likewise, a few nations have "adopted" more than 1 "standard time" because of  their "great longitudinal extent". For instance, in Russia, there are around 11 "standard times".
• The Earth is divided into 24 "time zones" of "1 hour each". Each zone therefore covers 15° of "longitude".
