Our country can better utilize solar energy by following different time cycles from the east to west. However dividing our country into time zones will be costly and confusing. Instead we should consider shifting into the GMT+6 or GMT+7 time zone.
THE MINISTRY of Energy is suggesting the division of our country into different time zones. This may include too much confusion and consumption of resources for a developing nation like ours. We certainly don’t need the added trouble and problems while illiteracy and poverty still loom large as ever. However the premise f such a suggestion is laudable. The intention is to better utilize solar energy. In a lesser degree the same could be affected by a shift into the time-zone of GMT+6 hours or GMT+7 hours instead of present GMT+5.30 hours.
Such a system will also be in tune with most nations already favouring their time zones separated by GMT in complete hours rather than a fraction of an hour like being presently followed by India by keeping itself in time zone GMT+5.30 hours.
While we are on the subject it might be worthwhile to consider the conversion of the measure of time into the metric system. Metric unit of time could be introduced with a complete day divided into 10 metric hours instead of the present 24 hours. Each metric hour may have 100 metric minutes with a metric minute having 100 metric seconds thereby making a complete day of 100000 metric seconds instead of present 86400 seconds.
