Relevant discussion in-line, some background top posted.

Mahesh, after experimenting on his own, concluded that OSM map is not
possible for Patiala. But after a few telephonic discussion, he was
hopeful. He spend one full day with me to learn mapping and know about
GPS devices. He travelled about 115 km, by bus (2:30 hour journey by
Public Transport, performed local journey by Auto-Rickshaw i.e
three-wheeler) with his Laptop, Mobile loaded with LandStone and
Ludhiana map.

As he was not having GPS, so he could not take advantage of Ludhiana
Map during his movement from Patiala to Ludhiana, how ever he could
use it with Blue-Tooth GPS and his screen reader software to guide
him, after meeting me. Now, he is very hopeful, and determined to make
Patiala Map to help himself.

This is wrong for all. If we don't discuss lower and upper case, space
between "Mahesh" and "Street" is required.

Will Mahesh Street or MS Street or MS street OK?

The "Advanced Training Institute (ATI)" was entered as found in .osm was:

<tag k='name' v='ATI' />
<tag k='name' v='ATI Road' />

which on conversion using LoadStone website: gave

"ATI Road",308849472,758286876,1,0,0,12967,941245992
"ATI Road",308864278,758247051,1,0,0,12967,941245993
"Krishna Mandir Road x ATI Road",308849649,758286556,1,0,0,12967,941246669
"Pakhowal Road x ATI Road",308865281,758244948,1,0,0,12967,941246787
"college: ATI",308758516,758623125,1,0,0,12967,941247220

But, on Mahesh's mobile, it showed as "Ati road" [Mahesh please
confirm], and due to this, his Screen Reader software spoke it in
wrong way.

Yes, we need to know who tag, so that Screen Reader software can read
it correctly, and if Screen Reader software or conversion tools are
doing wrong, then those software and tools are required to be
modified.
