Standard Meridian is the meridian (longitude)which is used to describe time of a country , it should be the same for the whole country and all the places in a country should follow this same time 
----------
The standard meridian of India is 82.5 ° E and it passes through the center of our country and passes through  Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh
-----------------------
as the meridian passes through there wont be too much difference in time and everyone can follow the same time which is followed in mirzapur

their is a time lag of 2 hrs between east and west states ,to remove this difference and to bring uniformity in time we have considered the standard meridian of india 82 deg 30 min east.
