Question
With reference to the ‘One Nation, One Time’
initiative, consider the following statements: 1. The initiative will mandate the use of Indian Standard Time (IST) across legal, commercial, digital, and administrative domains. 2. India will continue to rely on foreign satellite systems for determining official time, while NavIC is reserved for navigation purposes only. 3. The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) will operate atomic clocks at multiple locations to ensure nanosecond-level accuracy. 4. Beneficiaries of this move include critical sectors like telecom, defense, banking, and stock exchanges. Which of the statements given above is/are NOT correct?Solution
• Statement 1 is correct – The initiative mandates IST as the single standard across all legal, commercial, digital, and administrative domains. • Statement 2 is NOT correct – India will not rely on foreign satellite systems anymore; instead, it will use NavIC and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) for timekeeping. • Statement 3 is correct – Atomic clocks at five locations will provide nanosecond-level accuracy, limiting discrepancies to less than 0.1 milliseconds. • Statement 4 is correct – The move directly benefits telecom, defense, banking, power grids, and stock exchanges, all of which require precise synchronization. Additional Context: • Announced by Union Minister Pralhad Joshi at a roundtable in Delhi. • Implementation begins phased from Q1 FY26. • Strengthens India’s self-reliance in timekeeping and reduces dependency on foreign satellite systems. • Critical for efficiency, cybersecurity, and national security.
