From which city does our standard meridian pass by ?
Mirzapur
82°30'E which is the Standard Meridian of India passes through Mirzapur (Uttar Pradesh). The time of this meridian is taken as the standard time for the whole country.
82°30' E has been selected as the Standard Meridian of India because it is situated in the centre of all longitudes and latitudes in which our country is located. 82 degree 30 minutes is selected as standard meridian because it lies almost in center of the india.
We need a standard meridian for India because there is a time lag of about 2 hours between Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh. To avoid confusion of time in different states , India adopted a standard meridian which is 82 degrees 30 E and it passes through Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh.
