Bimal - I am sure that will be other areas which have the same problem as you.

I think that the only solution to this is something that requires action at a 
'higher level'. Obviously the ideal is government level, but if there is no 
interest at that level you will need to organise at a lower one. Since you are 
looking for someone to deliver items to you, the starting point could be talking 
to them.

Perhaps it's time to set up a local 'mapping' group as a base to work from to 
both improve the map so people can find you just by giving them your location. 
And then expand on that by agreeing locally on what to call roads ...
Use OSM as a base for a local campaign ...
