Mirzapur is the place in India which is taken as a Standard Meridian of India.
There is always a need to define a standard time for India because of its large geographical extent from North to South. For instance, Gujarat is located in the far west of India, while Arunachal Pradesh is in the far east. In Arunachal Pradesh, the sun rises two hours earlier than in Gujarat. People from two separate states of India would have to continue changing their watches if Arunachal Pradesh and Gujarat kept local time according to their Meridian on the globe, which may result in missing appointments and conducting board exams, etc., which require the same time throughout the Indian subcontinent. To have a similarity and eliminate the problem mentioned above, Indian Standard Time is necessary.
