1.The Standard Meridian is needed to determine the time of a particular country.

2.In India, there is a time lag of two hours between its westernmost and easternmost states, i.e. Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh respectively.

3.Therefore to avoid the confusion the latitude passing through Mirzapur ( Uttar Pradesh ) with value of 82°30'E is considered as the Standard Meridian of India.

4.The time of that latitudinal region is accepted as the Indian Standard Time.
