Instead of having different time zones, why can't we have different office / working times for different zones , based on day light !! No need of time zones for India.

[@raihanreza]

😒

[@utkarshsharma7914]

Wah kya baat kahi hai. Work from home ka naam suna hai sir aapne?

[@mehulshah4957]

But still it does not change the fact that Assam has to see sunrise at 4 AM and gujrat sees on 6 AM Let’s do that way All offices in Mumbai Delhi and all western states start their work office at 7 so that they can catch up with eastern states and school starts at 6 AM. Because eastern states would be up already since 4 AM Time zone were created based off sunrise and sunset so that everyone’s morning start correct

[@sutoverse]

Coordination between offices / companies becomes an issue. Same reason why working with a US company (too extreme of an example) will result in nights of wake up time because they operate on that time.

[@maneeshparihar]

Very well explained, I live in Mumbai and one of my friend lives in Guwahati, Assam we were having a video call around 6pm and it was sunny and bright in Mumbai and pitch dark in Guwahati which felt crazy. They are loosing a lot on daylight and India should implement a 2nd time zone for East India.

[@Turboinvesting]

Just to correct you that it was British who actually conceived and established the IST +05:30 UTC after the meridian conference. They also wanted to establish two time zones of standardized one hour difference, however the Half hourly timezone got prevalence. India dearly needs 2 Timezones. All over the world people sync their activities around the clock time. Ever wondered why Mumbai or Gujarat never complains of timezone. IST is more suited to western India. Eastern India suffers economically for IST. High time we change. Now what is the best option. Longer evening light is economically productive, India should go for UTC +06:00 till 90 degrees meridian east and UTC+07:00 for North East.

[@subbuk3216]

Good video. Please tell us about panchang calculation with respect to timezones

[@evo8176]

I agree with all your points, Regarding Day light saving, it have big issues. It affects circadian rhythm due to sudden change in timing. Causing misjudgement and accidents and lot more issues, few countries tried to remove day light saving few years ago.

[@mustang.]

Curious about this.. It is my understanding that having one time zone, and having all people work in sync at the same time is what benefits the transactions and prevents financial losses by time instead of having different time zones, different work hours where you have to wait for the other party to work according to their time zone to complete your transaction. Writing the comment with my current state of mind, will update and edit after I watch your video.

[@Khybercart]

amazing teacher

[@Kaushik_Bharadwaj]

I am from the state of Assam and here, the schools start around 7-8 and mostly end by 2-3pm(within daylight). However, the same is not true for government offices and what you mentioned is true. I am pretty used to sun rising at 5:30 am and going down around 4:30 in winter! I actually feel quite strange when I visit other parts of the country and notice daylight even at 7 pm or 8pm

[@sricharanm.v.9291]

Timezone switch in this digital world is not that easy, we have to ensure all the applications are changed accordingly, Yes other countries are doing it. But it comes with a maintenance cost. Other simple solution I can think of is, government can change working hours in those areas to start by 8am and close by 4/5pm.. 😊

Which article of Indian Constitution has recognised Chaibagaan time zone?

[@nishmohan610]

If we make our watches 6.5 hrs advance than utc instead of 5.5, this would also maximise sun usage if splits in time zone is not desired. This being so because early hours in west is not used up for productivity.

The better option is to adjust individual office to change work time based on seasons every 4 months once,

[@ftefoodtravelentertainment]

Old 3 timezone is the right time zone which is like if in Gujarat 1:30pm that time in Madras timezone 2:00pm and in the Kolkata timezone there is 2:30pm

Having multiple time zones may have multiple benefits. But when talking about electricity and the consumption of electricity in urban India, we should consider a few things. 1. India is a hot country. So a major part of our electricity bill is for air-conditioning. So cooling a space at evening is much more efficient than the day when sun is already heating up the building. (This will be opposite in colder countries) 2. Considering how modern corporate offices, shopping malls and stores are designed the lights are always on, no matter day or night. 3. Even for cars, at evening you may turn off the AC, but during the day the AC is must. So having multiple time zones may have other benefits, but shifting our working hours more during the day time, will add towards more cost for electricity and oil.

[@vinaybhade7046]

In Mumbai people still work in offices for long hours consuming electricity.

[@aryans5716]

Why don’t just change offices times instead of clock ?

[@taranjeetsinghkaler2439]

basically the solution is very simple yet hard to implent Because if we correct the time zones and get the $600 billion generated we can eradicate world poverty and hunger and also the debt crisis,

I dont think having one timezone is the an issue. But all of us irrespective of their location having a mindset that we need to work from 9am to 6pm is an issue. How does Norway works when you have 6 months of sun.

Better to start working according to sun rise

What is the compulsion to work only 9 to 6? You can say, In Assam, in Summer, our working hours are 7-30 AM to 4-30 PM. That's it. Nothing more to be done. Why complicate things with DST and timezones?

There are people who sleep and get up regardless of time, how many farmers get up with clock, which office is open from 9 to 7, and for the offices which are open 24/7 it won't make any diff. Its all in your mind and for presentation, no relation with reality, that my thought
