Hi i am From Andaman Islands
Here sunrise happens at 4 AM and Sunset at 5 PM
What are your thoughts on the current single time zone?
@@Nutshellindia there must be single time zone across whole of India but schools and offices opening and closing timings can be adjusted by allowing them to either come early and go early and come late and go late
I'm from Mumbai, 3 Months Before, here Sunrise happened at 6:30 AM and Sunset happened after 7 PM...
Well it actually happens around 5. And shifts by 15-20 minutes throughout the year. Dawn stars at 4am but takes 45-60 minutes to sunrise
@@kspradeep8397 right, having 2 time zones will be a complete mess, instead state govts should be allowed to adjust schools and office timings to better utilise the solar energy
Imagine travelling inside Chhattisgarh for a few kms and adjusting your clock by an hour, complete chaos🙄

So I don't think this time zone is affecting us ...
@@vandematram4 it's because the difference between local time of Gujarat and time zone is very less 🎉
Reference of france is misleading. While mainland France has one timezone, its overseas territories owning to their diveregent geographic locations have mutliple timezones.
Didn't you see the image when she was explaining about France
@@ayushsundaray5718 It's still very misleading since they are referring to area of France and not oversees territories
@@ayushsundaray5718 France has territories all over the World from French guyana in South America to Reunion islands in Indian Ocean etc. The video presenter seems to be unaware of France's overseas territories.
She just mentioned it bcoz it have most time zones
Yeah definitely not relevant to what she's speaking of here.
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.
Ikr
Exactly, two timezone will create more problem than the solution.
Fir koi petition daal dega fir 10 saal baad hoga ye kaam
Nice idea
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.
I am a computer programmer and i am happy with the single timezone 😜
Obviously 😂🤣🤣
They don't know our problems 😂😂
Exactly. Even, I want a single timezone for the whole earth.
Working remote and scheduling meetings with us clients is so pain. They have so many timezones 😭
@@pranjaldoorwar9743 Ever thought of developing an application with users from all over the world.
Amen to that
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
Yeah, and it is so needed cause seems like we won't get seperate time zones.
NIAS reports India will save 2.7 Billion Dollars in Electricity units if we switch to 2 time-zones.
Same in Bangladesh
Mentioning France is a trick. France has 12 time zones because they still have territories or let say former colonies all over the world.
Exactly it is former colonies
This video is a joke so much misinformation, less facts and more opinion
foolish logic , France has so many small islands scattered across the Atlantic, Pacific, indian oceans.. That's why they have multiple time zones.
But we have north east and andaman who has difficulty with this time zoe
No one has offices in andaman
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.
But it affects a lot to the people of eastern and western parts of india,these problems of ist should have an solution.
@@alonewalker2626 How? I didn't understood, we get 24 hrs every where 😅
@@alonewalker2626 Sol: Change Timming of Offices and Schools
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
Yes there are disadvantages of single time zone but having separate timezone for North East region will further create a distance between main land and north eastern states!
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.
Office and school could start one hour early in my state but because of single time zone we start at 9 am.
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.
@@deepakkj what you are saying is morning school, all the office start at 9 or 10 am which is already very late.
@@veipuniilana1842 army should be sended more because of Chinese agression without ignoring the development of that region in short both are important
I always had a question about this topic in my mind. So thank you Nutshell
Hope things are clearer now :)
@@Nutshellindia Yaah
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
Alsi bando ka kuch nahi keh sakte bhai .
Exactly
Some separatists want separate time zone to open up Pandora's Box.
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.
Some separatists have been voicing different time zone stuff too.
Exactly
I KNEW THE SCHOOLS STARTED TOO EARLY
😆
Just for clarification, France still has colonies around the world. That's why it has many time zones.
In Kolkata Sun usually rises around 5 30 am and sets at around 6 pm in Summers but when I went to Punjab I saw sun at 7 pm too
My village is in the extreme west, near Saurashtra. In summer, it sets around 7.30 and dusks at 8 or further
@@abhaybanugariya4926 in north eastern part of India

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.
most of the Chinese population lives on the east side...get your facts straight before trying to sound smart
@@ireneailer5543 So, you mean the Chinese living on wester side doesn't matter.

Yes, we in NE need a separate timezone specially for winters.
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
In Orissa Govt. Offices starts at 8 am. They have lunch at 12 pm generally
Orissa is very intelligent.

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.
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 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.
Go to walk at 4.30
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.
That's your habit and not an imposition, let's say you move to Mexico, you have change you time table by atleast 12 hours
@@eigenfeynman9890 that's exactly what time zone is
But usually we count how many hours we sleep i.e eg 6-8 hr so how does it affect our sleep? We don't wake up by hen's alarm.
Do you know that China also have one time zone
.because more than 90% Chinese population live on eastern side
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.
1) Australia has 3 timezones because it is a lot wider than India
2) France has 12 because of overseas french territories
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.
*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!!!!!*

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
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
Really great topic to do!! Thank you for spending your time and making! It was really fun to learn about it
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.
It's safer to have 1 time zone. Having multiple will just open Pandora's box.
But unlike ancient times we sleep According to time not the sun's position 😅 so how does it affect sleep?
Exactly
Correct, that was way healthier than these days
The rising and setting of the sun impacts our body clocks or circadian rhythm. As it gets darker in the evening, the body starts to produce the sleep hormone melatonin - which helps people nod off. In a new paper, Maulik Jagnani, an economist at Cornell University, argues that a single time zone leads to a decline in quality of sleep, especially of poor children.
Cicardian rythm is reduntant in the age of smartphones and artificial lights.
@Nutshell what about the situation in artic circle then. Don't people there get healthy sleep for straight 6 months?
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.
Then why is china following single time zone..? China is much bigger than India
The reason why China has one time zones
More people live in eastern part of China about 96 percent
Only 6 percent of people live in the western China
Western China it very cold there and uncomfortable
That’s why they have one time zones
@@tahmidabdin4625 hey same is the case with northern eastern states of india. it has only 45 million people which is only comprising 3.76% of India's population.
Never knew that a single time zone can create problems!!!!..
Thanks for the video... NUTSHELL...♥️♥️
Yaay, glad you liked it, Tarun💗
I always did, always found it much easier to sleep and rise early in Orissa then in Mumbai.
Actually it's good to have one time zone only... It has many advantages also...
Yeah but it effects on the eastern part of India
Sunrise and sunset is earlier on the clock than other states in India
Wow! Such an unnoticed topic clearly explained by nutshell ❤️
I now know the importance of different time zones. Thanku Nutshell...after watching this, I do think that India should have two time zones 👍
-Aakash
Glad you enjoyed the video, Aakash :)
@@Nutshellindia Been waiting for your response Nutshell 😅
@yas 123 chaos in what? Everyday in India is already chaos actually. 😂
Pls also address why (reasons)it is not being implemented? Should be part of the video!
Instead why not leave this too state governments or institutions themselves, at least for schools and colleges to align their timings slightly. Also for businesses having their operations across country, although this may not be possible for all types of businesses, since the adjustment of half an hour is also going to benefit, encouraging it at regional level and keeping it optional should be the best first step - that should also provide some proof of concept to indicate whether it's worth separating timezones officially is worth the efforts as it would also have some downsides
The video states the facts but is quite misleading. Throughtout the video I was thinking about the solutions she gave at the end. Also the example of russia and australia was fine but that of France is again misleading because France observes different time zones only in overseas territories and the time is same not only in metropolitan France in europe but even in it's neighbouring countries.
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.
This video explained me the whole geography related to longitudes and even I got a lot of extra information. Thanks a lot
I hail from Eastern India but now working western India..its literally kills my interest while working bcz i have my routines but now i have to adjust everything.. i m not sleeping well and hence feel anxiety throughout the day..its hectic
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!
Great work.. 👍
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
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 👍

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 ?
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
Woah never thought that single time zone can affect so much.
Thanks for bringing this up!!
I get the energy saving part but sleep part is difficult to digest. as If child in western part and eastern part sleep at same time and wake up at the same time then amount of sleep is same. let's say both sleep at 10pm IST and wakes up at 7am IST. then hours are same.
So the solution is, companies can change their office timings right? Schools can start at 8:30 AM rather than 7:30 AM. I don't see a reason to change the clocks here. Anyone care to explain?
I live in Maharashtra, and here the sunrise and sunset changes every few months. Will we accomodate that too?
In North east India during winter days sunsets almost at 4.30 pm but we have to follow 9 to 6pm office time .It really sucks coming home at night 😩
We have to fight for separate timezone in NE! Let us raise consciousness!
Two time zone is not good idea .it will eat up more than .02% of gdp as expenses related to problems. Better to have a regional solution
It’s better to put India 30 minutes ahead
Whole of India sunrise and sunset will be 30 minutes later
This will save electricity
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?
Uh oh
Did'nt realise this timezone could have these many problems . Thanks for Info
Thanks for providing us information on this topic 🙏 .

Totally mind blowing. Thanks for explaining this in Nutshell.
Beautifully Explained!
Very good explanation 👊
Good naration. Good topic. Excellent video
Thanxx now i can blame my poor sleep schedule on my timezone
Yes...I felt like I was getting less sleep all my life...😂😂
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
I never think this is a problem.
Thank you for your best explanation about this topic.
Glad you liked it Ruturaj
I don't think it as a problem, the length of day also depend on seasons.
Never thought of it like that...
Purely amazing
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 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!

Large country is a relative term, you need to consider the horizontal and vertical span and the population density across the country.
It is really tough to create software/webapp with different time zones. More processing power is required to do the calculation thus increases CPU load and electricity wastage.
i cant see indian time zone in windows i searched for problem solution and ended with this
Do a video on daylight savings time.
It affects online tatkal train ticket bookings. Portal opens only at 10am for AC and 11am for Sleeper.
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.
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
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
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
I know you guys do not have the view that y’all deserve, but trust me you guys have a long way ahead of you 👉🏻👈🏻.
