"dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" does the job perfectly. But I require a method that doesn't include a text based gui. I have searched and seen some ways which require using "tzselect" and then export "TZ" environment variable while others suggest to create symbolic link "ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/ /etc/localtime". Can you tell me which one to use so that the system time is changed permanently and persistent across reboots.
dpkg system-settings timezone

See this answer: https://serverfault.com/a/84528/459227
In short, you can set the timezone you want in /etc/timezone and then you can call dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive tzdata so it applies the settings without asking on a text based GUI.
