Your logic is the problem, fuck about the distance created instead care more about the the productivity. If india government want better relationship with the Northeast then they should develop the region rather than sending lots of army.
My dear brother, in Goa the school starts at 7.30- 8.00am. It's the will power of the state machinery that can resolve such conflicts brother. The residents of your state should push for 1 hour early start in all sectors if that can resolve such productivity issue.
Rather than having 2 time zones , just change office and school timings in eastern and western part of the country. Infact office, school, college, banks timings needs to be changed throughout the country to manage peak hour rush in metro cities.
You are suggesting the sane thing. Except instead of changing laws of every single institution and office with millions of orders and changes, you can do it just by doing one thing.... Change the time zone.
Time tables are man made things, my school has 2times, 7 am for summer and 8 Am for winters... it's not that difficult for other organisations to do the same
Having a single time zone makes it easier for a country to coordinate and also India is more long than wide, so it makes sense. Also, France occupies tiny islands all over the world, so it is far more widespread than India inspite of technically being much smaller. Hence the comparison with france regarding time-zones doesn't make sense.
What is the function of having seperate timezone when the institution in the east open an hour earlier than in the west. So, splittes time zone is needed, the new timezone will be started in Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha. Western Indian Time and Eastern Indian Time
Why this is a problem. Just change the time of school. For example, If a Boy in Gujarat is going school at 8AM-1PM then a North east can go at 7 AM -12AM. I didn't get the point of it
Because of strategic reasons India has refrained from having multiple timezones, however we should have different office timings for NE and A&N, which will be good for their health and the environment.
If India facing this problem with just a difference of 2 hours on Western and Eastern edges. Then the single time zone used by China would have completely destroyed the western Chinese regions and its people.
@@VishuK-t8f you're comparing India and China when on the other occasions, you feel proud of India for being a democratic country. These two can't be compared, one is federal, the other is centralistic communist. By federal, Russia and US also have different time zones
Best solution is to changing schedule or changing from +5:30 to +6:00 The two timezone would make several more issues for common people as well as for the administration
China too has single timezone although there is difference of 3.5 hours between sunrise of eastern and western extremities. I think we should have two timezones at 5 and 6 hours. All states with its capital west of Mirzapur gets UTC +5 and other part gets UTC +6.
I propose India should have 2 timezones like West Indian Time (WIT) (UTC +5) and East Indian Time (EIT) (UTC +6). Indian states mostly falling east of 82.5° longitude which starts from Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and all eastern states under UTC +6. This makes 11 states and 1 Union Territory ahead than rest of India. Similarly rest of India starting from UP, MP, Chhattisgarh, & Andra Pradesh and all other western states and UTs under UTC +5. It would take hardly 5 years to adjust but a better and more perfect environment for future generations. In fact if Indians 100yrs back can do this then we aren't dumb that we can't adjust to this.
I used to livie in Mumbai , where sun rise at around 6:15AM - 6:30 and sets 7PM. Currently I got transferred to andamans. And here sun rise at 5 AM and sets at 5PM. So it felt really sad. Coz most of us like evenings walks. That too around 5:30PM. But here at 5 :30 PM you only get darkness. And yes i wake up at 5 just because the sun stares at the window at 5.
Wouldn’t it be nice to get a good morning walk , exercise etc without worrying to rush for work. In fact your own work gets priority over employers work and you get the most energy and focus on you rather than someone else. In Mumbai we give best time to employers and leftover tired time is left for ourselves.
*I was born and raised in Goa (West) and later I had to move to Jamshedpur, Jharkhand (East), I literally lost my sense of time due to early sunrise and sunset. I am a person who really wants a new time zone as sometimes it's really stressful!!!!!*
Not trying to be unnecessarily confrontational but India isn't exactly small. 1) India's width is 73% (approx) compared to that of Australia. If you place India on top of Australia on a map, align Gujarat with Western Austrlia, North East India would be overlapping Queensland - which means India stretches across 3 time zones. 2) India does have two sets of islands - Lakshadweep is much closer but Andaman and Nicobar Islands are closer to countries in Southeast Asia as compared to South Asia and latitudinally directly south of the Seven Sisters and Myanmar.
Theoretically sounds good not sure if really this is applicable practically, we as Indians only switch on /off if we feel to based on the available natural light
If we did so, it will bring great confusions in railway time. So we should make everything 2. Like 2 railway times for a country. It may bring transportational issues inside country and reduces the productivity of East part of India.
We can change the timings in the NE states right? Electricity can be generated using solar power wherever there is a shortage. We don't have to change the unified time zones
NE states are 30 minutes behind Bangladesh. Even though they are far east than bangladesh. That itself states the problem. India should have 3 time zones having a 30 minutes gap each between them.
I completely agree with the saving the electricity part by changing the timezone. But I don't agree with the point of loosing sleep. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The fact that duration of sleep matters that is 7-8hrs whether you are in western or eastern region.

Early start in east and late start in west will be the best solution. Common core time of 6 to 7 hours should be enough to transact inter zone business.
I don't get this logic of getting less sleep depending on the sunset. We follow the same timezone for deciding when to go to sleep, when to wake up and when to go for work/school. How is it related to the sunset?
France has 12 different time zones because they occupy a lot of small islands across different oceans (and India doesn't). So going just based off of size is a wrong comparison. Also, India is more long than wide, so it also makes sense. Adding another time zone might have advantages, but in India's case, not having multiple time zones is also an advantage

Still unable to understand the need for different times zone . Why don't we change working hr or school hr? Why do we need to change time zone and create a new problem . ? Just to delay time. Moreover as explained only western part are facing problems of sleep cycle . Children must be getting less grade in western part anywhere. And most important why France different scattered territory is taken as examples.
@@Nutshellindia change the timing of school for that is what I have mentioned . Making different zone is more problematic. If school start 2hr early will easily applied than changing whole time zone. For businesses timing doesn't matter . It is demand and supply game . If demand is high at night it will operate.
@@Nutshellindia I have doubts with example taken. If rising and setting of sun. Is creating too much problems for a region . Then productivity must be going down. Better example would be Bangladesh and eastern region to compare it on that ground. Bangladesh is just .5hr difference.
When you're starting some articles you should reason your statements. Like when you said poor children lost some extra time of sleep you could've reasoned it and many like me keep wondering what the reason was 🤔
Wouldn’t it be simpler to start schools and offices late? BCCI is smart enough to start cricket matches early in Guwahati than Ahmedabad. Why can’t we do this everywhere?

If time zones are set by humans like that ... Is it relevant to follow that and should we take seriously our birth time ,any past incident time or anything related to time ..???
Great. Now do a video on how China has a single timezone when it laps like 4 of them, the difference ain't that large in India, most people haven't raised the issue
Having single time zone helps a country to coordinate better and makes it easier. India is more in length than its width. It idiotic to compare India with France because it has divergent geographic locations. India only has A&N islands and Lakshwadeep island on the name of divergence away from land locked part.
Even China despite being a huge country faces same problem.At least our time zone passes through middle of India.But for China its in Beijing(far eastern part of China).

Now I understand why I felt well rested and alert for the first morning classes while I was in Pondicherry, but could hardly keep my eyes open in morning classes in Bombay that began at 8.30 am
I am from Margherita, Assam! It's near the eastern most border of India. I face this problem. I support the implementation of atleast 2 time zones (if not 3), in India.
NE is atleast 1.5 hours behind than where it should be!
@@hritizgogoi3739 Yes, I agree!
@@RishabhSharma25 we need to raise consciousness about this in Assam and NE ! Jahnu Borua (who also worked in ISRO) tried it before but he didn't get enough support! Common timezone is harming both our cognitive well being and economy! If India is a Superpower, it is not a big task to give separate timezone for NE!
Yes, NE needs a different time zone. Imagine the energy savings if 1 hour is increased in NE.
That would gmt +6:30 hours which is confusing
That’s why all time zones is 1 hour apart to make life easier
Better to keep 6 hours later than gmt basically setting clocks 30 minutes forward
Even China has a single timezone
US has 6
Wow! Such an unnoticed topic clearly explained by nutshell ❤️
I bet 2 time zones will hurt 2 times 👍👍so we have to solve the issues which we have in 1 time zone ...... 👍
USA has 4 time zones, it doesn't hurt anyone 🙄. And the fact that North East people does face a lot of problems because of single time zone which is derived from western most part of India i.e. Mumbai. So it does needed to be fixed
Changing working hours based on sunrise/sunset 🌅🌄 throughout the year sounds better.
7AM school in summer and 8AM in winter 😀
Why do you think so?
@@veipuniilana1842 it's easier to coordinate many activities with just one time zone
Say India had 2 timezones, what timezone would you use for train/plane arrival & departures ?
Yes...I felt like I was getting less sleep all my life...😂😂
This wad very interesting topic, thank you Nutshell😊.
However, I would still prefer one timezone than bugging my head with different timezones😬
Btw if you can add links for research papers in description. That would be great 👍
Cornell University paper showing that in an area where sunset happens an hour late, there, children get to sleep 30 minutes less:

Study suggesting that if India switches from the existing single time zone to two time zones then our GDP would increase by over 0.2% annually: blogs.worldbank.org/impactevaluations/here-comes-sunset-it-puts-children-sleep-and-affects-global-educational-outcomes-guest-post-maulik
Study suggesting that advancing the Indian Standard Time by just half an hour would result in an annual savings of 2.7 billion units of electricity in India:

Thanks for sharing this but sleep hardly works like that. I guess these agencies making such claims thinks everyone's a machine. Having a single timezone is way easier to manage. There are negative effects of having multiple time zones too
I am geography student but didn't think about it , the time zone pros and cons in our life. Thank u for such a video
Thanks Mohit!
I don't think it as a problem, the length of day also depend on seasons.
From 15° we require 2 times zones but we need 3 timezones for precise activities
Definitely agree with you. The sun will set at 4:30 today here in Mizoram. It's insane
Even know that you don’t live high latitude
Sunsets 4:30pm
I would change it to 5:30pm rather than 4:30 because that’s too early
You were the only one who touched this topic and explained it beautifully
.!!
Never thought of it like that...
Purely amazing
Instead of 5:30 and 6:30
In which north east get benefit but rest India get loss
Time should be 5 and 6 utc in which both compromises half hour
You did not consider problems of Multiple of time zone😅
Rather than having two timezones, we can change the timings of work in the regions.
Single time zone is simple and good for all Indians who don't know about all these so much
It gets dark by 4:30 PM out here.
Really great topic to do!! Thank you for spending your time and making! It was really fun to learn about it
Large country is a relative term, you need to consider the horizontal and vertical span and the population density across the country.
List of Drawbacks of having 2 timezones is way longer than that of having 1 single time zones.
Thanxx now i can blame my poor sleep schedule on my timezone
This video is proof that you can raise any thing from back of someone's mind and make video about it just to keep the financial cycle running 😂😂😂 I mean most of the solutions like changing of school and office timings in different regions is already there... But no now research has proposed it🤦😂👏
Create a problem and provide solution... become useful 😂😂😂
That's modern day pseudo activism. Divide society then push your agenda.
@@prakashtiwari8003 Their separatist agenda to be precise.

Kaleen bhaiya .... The Man behind India's single time zone
Still unable to understand the need for different times zone . Why don't we change working hr or school hr? Why do we need to change time zone and create a new problem . ? Just to delay time. Moreover as explained only western part are facing problems of sleep cycle . Children must be getting less grade in western part anywhere. And most important why France different scattered territory is taken as examples.
The rising and setting of the sun impacts our body clocks or circadian rhythm.
@@Nutshellindia change the timing of school for that is what I have mentioned . Making different zone is more problematic. If school start 2hr early will easily applied than changing whole time zone. For businesses timing doesn't matter . It is demand and supply game . If demand is high at night it will operate.
@@Nutshellindia I have doubts with example taken. If rising and setting of sun. Is creating too much problems for a region . Then productivity must be going down. Better example would be Bangladesh and eastern region to compare it on that ground. Bangladesh is just .5hr difference.
India should have a 2 time zones.
Now I know why I always felt sleepy in my school days during winter. Real disadvantage for my home state Gujarat.
Our high school once move up the school start time up by 30 minutes and also reduce the lunch break time during winter season.
Did'nt realise this timezone could have these many problems . Thanks for Info
Even China has single time zone. And China is 3 times bigger than India.
Someone finally said it.
When you're starting some articles you should reason your statements. Like when you said poor children lost some extra time of sleep you could've reasoned it and many like me keep wondering what the reason was 🤔
Stating*
Wouldn’t it be simpler to start schools and offices late? BCCI is smart enough to start cricket matches early in Guwahati than Ahmedabad. Why can’t we do this everywhere?
Wait there's jayshah avg smartness of bcci has gone down bcz of jay Shah's -ve IQ.
@@Aditya-if3ij It's because not of Jay shah Bcci is smart and that is due to Sourav
@@somyaranjansahoosahoo5127 sourav has achieved something in his life on his own work. JayShah doesn't even know how to read English.
Saying single time zone is problematic is totally wrong, moreover sleep aspect is even more funny
Just want to know few things.....
1. Who set that time zones...???
2. If we use sundials, which time will they follow...???
3. Are we actually living in accurate time...???
4. If time zones are set by humans like that ...
Is it relevant to follow that and should we take seriously our birth time ,any past incident time or anything related to time ..???
Great. Now do a video on how China has a single timezone when it laps like 4 of them, the difference ain't that large in India, most people haven't raised the issue
More than 90 percent of Chinese population reside in its eastern part and in case of India you already know
@@avinashkumar-ip6qq correct and 6 percent lives in west of China
Due to weather and climate
In our school Light is always on.
Because teacher wants more
If you can adjust working hours 9-6 to 8-5 you can make difference
Having single time zone helps a country to coordinate better and makes it easier. India is more in length than its width. It idiotic to compare India with France because it has divergent geographic locations. India only has A&N islands and Lakshwadeep island on the name of divergence away from land locked part.
I think do we need a separate time zone as in Shillong right now in November by 5 pm it is already dark
We should fight for separate timezone for NE!
@@hritizgogoi3739 yeah set clocks forward 1 hour
Sun would rise and set 1 hour later
Sunset would be 6pm if the change happens
India isn't wide enough to absolutely need more than 1 timezone.
I Live in delhi here sunrise is 5:40 in summers and 6 in winters
And sunset is 7 pm in summers and
6:15 in winters
i cant see indian time zone in windows i searched for problem solution and ended with this
It affects online tatkal train ticket bookings. Portal opens only at 10am for AC and 11am for Sleeper.
I never think this is a problem.
Thank you for your best explanation about this topic.
Glad you liked it Ruturaj
Even China despite being a huge country faces same problem.At least our time zone passes through middle of India.But for China its in Beijing(far eastern part of China).
Indian People are not Ready for this All we can do is Daylight saving
