Hello Plnr. Md. Shahriar Alam,

I would suggest attending an OpenStreetMap, The State of the Map, 
conference, including workshops (if you have not done it yet). It is a 
great way to learn about this vast project and of different approaches.

I would also suggest while working on the OSM map keep an eye on 
Wikipedia articles which have got the geographical coordinates in 
Bangladesh:

Here are the articles in the Bengali language (Wikipedia code "bn") in 
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh:

http://ausleuchtung.ch/geo_wiki/?lat=23.73703344465163&lng=90.3930187225342&zm=14&lang=bn&ds=wiki&rd=10

or in English:

http://ausleuchtung.ch/geo_wiki/?lat=23.733497763086373&lng=90.39855480194092&zm=15&lang=en&ds=wiki&rd=10

You can click at any place on the map in Bangladesh to view locations of 
the articles in Bengali, English and other languages ten kilometers 
around the click.

It is possible to illustrate Wikipedia articles with high-resolution 
photographs and videos in such a way that the object and the area around 
it are well visible, both from the ground and from the air. It could be 
useful for other mappers, especially if the wikipedia=* and wikidata=* 
tags are added to this object on the map.

Here is an example of my attempt to illustrate an article of a stadium:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_sportif_du_Bout-du-Monde
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Centre_sportif_du_Bout-du-Monde

or a lake:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lac_de_Lovenex
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Lac_de_Lovenex

As an aside, Wikipedia's Wikimania conference is also very useful in 
connection with the above.

With best regards,
Oleksiy
