Barnala Map Ready At Open Street Map

I am feeling very happy to announce that Map of MY Home Town is finally ready (with just few detailing left) after two months. Indeed I took a quite much time but yet I was single person to map the whole districts with one of my student Sukhakashdeep Singh (+1 Inter arts) resident of Barnala too. He helped me a lot while collecting the GPS Data. Before I was doing my project when I made to see my Barnala Map by my mentor Dr. H.S. Rai, I was just shocked to see, not even boundary of city has been drawn earlier by anybody. From that very I decided that I will myself complete this map alone whether one should interested or not to help me. And Finally I got the result. You can clearly See What my Home town was earlier and What it is at present.

MY Home Town Before Mapping Done by me
My Home town After Mapping Done by me :)

So you can clearly see what a lot has been changed in Barnala Map at osm.org. Even the name of city was not displaying earlier. All thanx to my mentor Dr. H.S. Rai who gave me full support and also couraged me time to time. He provided me VGPS (for taking GPS data). And yes also to my Dad, he also supported me a lot. He covered the boundary with me in Car. Yet I am working on streets and all minor details along with some error correction if found. You can also take a look at iframe of my home town as shown below:
