Hi Rajesh, How about organizing a mapping event for WB to get people together and map on OSM the various things you're requesting here? It seems like a comprehensive project where you're gathering various geospatial information about West Bengal. It's a pretty solid mandate for organising a mapping event. If your institution can give out participation certificates to mappers then excellent. At SOTM Asia even we saw amazing presentations of exactly the kind of mapping project you're doing from all over Asia. In fact there's an active project going on right now in a village panchayat in Kerala where they're mapping *everything* and putting it all on OSM.
Also, seeing that you've posted quite some times along the same pattern, by now you should learn how to find these tags and run the basic overpass queries yourself, and show us what you've found along with your question so that we can have a head start. Also it would be great to list down research already done by you and sources already checked out. This is in fact insisted upon in forums like stackoverflow and I've learned the biggest benefit of it is that when I lay it all out in precise words I many times end up spotting one thing I didn't check yet and finding the answer :) . If you can bring others on the same page, someone might be able to point out another angle, and next time someone else looking here for the same thing will thank you for your prior research. A good way to start is : web-search for : "OSM Wiki ______" (fill in the blanks with whatever it is you want to find) You will find the right tag, like "amenity=school" for instance. Then, go on https://overpass-turbo.eu , Move the map to your focus region, click "Wizard" button and type in "amenity=school" and that should set you up. To save your query, click the "Share" button and copy and save the link. To learn more about using Overpass, again "OSM Wiki _____" should show you the way. Just sharing because this is exactly the way I learned when I was working on a project for Pune budget analysis and didn't know anything about OSM at the time. -- Cheers, Nikhil VJ, Pune, India http://nikhilvj.co.in On Fri, Jan 4, 2019 at 7:03 PM Arun Ganesh <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Fri, Jan 4, 2019 at 5:46 PM rajesh kumar <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I want to map all the Administrative offices in west bengal (Block >> Development Office, Sub-Divisional Office, & District HQ). >> >> Can any one please help. >> >> > This is an ideal project to use OpenStreetMap for.
