× I live in a small village near Phagwara city in Punjab which is located in the north side of India.
✓ I live in a small village near Phagwara city in Punjab, which is located in the north of India.
Use 'in the north of India' or 'in northern India' instead of 'in the north side of India'. Also add a comma before the non-defining relative clause 'which is located...' to improve sentence structure.
× Many things I like about my hometown, but the foremost thing I would like to tell is the strong sense of a community.
✓ There are many things I like about my hometown, but the foremost is the strong sense of community.
The original word order is awkward. Begin with 'There are many things' to state existence. Use 'the foremost is' to link to the main point. 'Sense of community' is the natural collocation; the indefinite article 'a' is unnecessary.
× Everybody help each other.
✓ Everybody helps each other.
'Everybody' is singular and requires a singular verb form 'helps'. The reflexive action 'each other' is acceptable with 'everybody' in informal use.
× I have seen togetherness there.
✓ I have seen people being together there.
'Togetherness' is a noun but sounds unnatural here. Use a clearer structure like 'I have seen people being together' or 'I have seen a strong sense of togetherness there' to convey the meaning.
× I have been living here since my childhood.
✓ I have lived here since my childhood.
Both present perfect continuous and present perfect can be correct, but 'have lived since my childhood' is more natural for a state that started in the past and continues. 'Since childhood' is also a more concise option.
× Yes, I can see that my hometown is a good place for young people because it is far away from drug areas.
✓ Yes, I think my hometown is a good place for young people because it is far from areas affected by drugs.
Use 'I think' instead of 'I can see that' for opinion. 'Far from' is more idiomatic than 'far away from' here. 'Drug areas' is vague and unnatural; 'areas affected by drugs' or 'drug-affected areas' is clearer.
× In Punjab there are many places where drug addicted student but my hometown is safe for this criteria.
✓ In Punjab there are many places with drug-addicted students, but my hometown is safe by this criterion.
The original sentence misses a verb and has word-order issues. Use 'places with drug-addicted students' or better 'areas with drug problems'. 'Criterion' is singular; use 'by this criterion' or 'according to this criterion'. Also add a comma before 'but'.
