Question

why we need standard time for india?​

Answer 1

Answer:

India has a vast longitudinal extent. Since many meridians pass through it, it is important to adopt the local time of one central meridian of a country as the standard time for the country. Thus, we need a standard meridian for the country. In India 82 ½ °E longitude determines the standard time.

Answer 2

Needs of standard meridian of India :-

The longitudinal & latitudinal extent of India is almost the same in degree but in kilometre north to south 3200 km while to east to west 3000 km

The longitudinal & latitudinal extent of India is almost the same in degree but in kilometre north to south 3200 km while to east to west 3000 kmIn uniformity to bring in local time , the standard meridian of 82°30′ E has been accepted. It passes through Mirzapur (Uttar Pradesh) hence we need standard meridian to maintain standard time
