Answer:
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.

❥ The time of a place depends on the longitude that passes through it.
❥ Therefore, the standard time for each country is usually taken as the time of the central meridian that passes through it.
