When I search the name of my village on Google Map, the address below shows “Kanpur Division, Uttar Pradesh” which is wrong. The correct address is “Talagram, Uttar Pradesh 209731”.

Hi @Skyadav1223
Such data issues are better dealt with in the Maps support forum.
Hit the Community tab at the top and make a post. You need to attach or link to official documentation supporting the change you are proposing. Copyright-free governmental maps are probably the best proof you can attach.
Without such official documentation you will not be successful.

Thank you for coming to help me. The document that I have attached is issued by the Government of India, in which the full address is written.
It would be very helpful if you would use the tagging tool when replying to someone here on Connect. Type @ followed by the username. Type slowly. Then we get an e-mail notification and you are more likely to get a prompt reply. Just hitting Reply does not ensure we get notified by email.
I’m not sure if this will be sufficient documentation for Google. They also need to know the geographical outline of your village, which is why an official map is the best to have handy.
The next step will be to go to the Maps support forum as mentioned in my first reply.
Cheers

If the red outline shown here : https://maps.app.goo.gl/duXrbspRAfFUWSVk8
is correct, then I would go ahead and make the post on the Support forum.
Please be very precise by setting the current name of the village
And specify what the correct name is both in your local language and in English.
And mention that the outline shown in the link is correct. Just the naming needs to be corrected.
Best of luch

I am sorry to say that Uttar Pradesh government does not make any such map public so that I can see the geographical map of the village. These types of maps remain with some special government employees. Well I pasted the link so that we can know about our village.http://www.onefivenine.com/india/villages/Kannauj/Talgram/Baniyani

As far as maps support forum is concerned, I have already made a post on this and after not getting any reply, I took help from local guide connect. I have pasted the link of Map Support Forum.https://support.google.com/maps/thread/205781727/why-is-my-village-address-showing-wrong
For your satisfaction, I have attached a screenshot of the map issued by the Government of India, whose link I have also attached. With this you can easily understand the name and map of our village.https://bharatmaps.gov.in/
I guided you to find the relevant documentation and reminded you what information you need to include in your post on Maps support forum.
I suggest you make a new post with the correct info and please include the documentation (links and images). Without these you will not be able to get help.
Best of luck
