Mapping Hope — Visiting the Nasha Mukti Kendra in Baprola

Today I spent a few hours walking through parts of Baprola in Delhi, updating some OpenStreetMap data for local healthcare and wellness centres. While mapping, I came across Baprola Nasha Mukti Kendra in Delhi (Plot No. 1, Near Shiv Mandir Village).
The facility stood out not just because of its location, but because of the care with which local roads, access paths, and landmarks are maintained leading up to it. It’s clear this centre isn’t just a building — it’s part of the community. I was able to verify a few missing footpaths and alleyways around its boundary which will help people locate it more easily for those who need its services.
Inside, the atmosphere seemed calm and structured, with signage guiding visitors. I noted that it offers multiple branches across Delhi (Uttam Nagar, RK Puram, Shahdara, etc.) which I also updated in the map tags.
Mapping health and wellness facilities sometimes feels like a small thing, but I believe it matters. When recovery centres or wellness hubs are easily found on maps, they become more accessible — for people seeking help, for families, for counsellors, for support networks.
Logged:
- New footpaths added
- Verified address and contact for Baprola location
- Updated map tags: Wellness centre, Health care, Counselling
Looking forward to returning and mapping the interior paths (walkways inside campus) when allowed, and perhaps also gathering more feedback from users of the centre about how the map could better serve them.
