Write a note on standard time.

1.	Write a note on standard time.
Answer» There are many longitudes in a country, each showing a different time. However, if the time of different places in the same country is different, then it creates problem in the administration of the nation. Therefore, we have a standard time in our nation. Standard time means a fix time which is common for the entire nation. It is fixed on the basis of any one longitude of the country. It is fixed by following the local time of any one place which is situated in the middle of the country. The Standard time of our country has been fixed from the 82.5° E longitude which is located near Allahabad. That means if it 8:00 am in Allahabad, it is so all over India. Standard time allows people to be punctual in their work. Large countries like Australia which are extended towards east and west have more than one standard time.
