× I am basically from Kernel which is situated in Indian northern state of Haryana.
✓ I am basically from Karnal which is situated in the northern Indian state of Haryana.
The preposition 'in' is missing before 'the northern Indian state of Haryana'. Also, the correct name is 'Karnal', not 'Kernel'. The phrase should be 'in the northern Indian state of Haryana' to indicate location properly.
× It is often known as the rice ball of India because of the cultivation and production of the high quality Basmati rice and often we entitle it as Karan Nagri because of it.
✓ It is often known as the rice bowl of India because of the cultivation and production of high-quality Basmati rice, and often we call it Karan Nagri because of that.
The phrase 'rice ball' is incorrect; the correct idiom is 'rice bowl'. 'High quality' should be hyphenated as 'high-quality' when used as an adjective. 'Entitle it as' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'call it'. Also, 'because of it' is better replaced with 'because of that' for clarity.
× There are many things but if I have to pick one, it would be the cultural heritage there as there is very rich cultural heritage in my city and also the people here are we have really warm and welcoming behavior that just add up to the charm of my city.
✓ There are many things, but if I have to pick one, it would be the cultural heritage there as there is a very rich cultural heritage in my city, and also the people here have really warm and welcoming behavior that just adds to the charm of my city.
The sentence has subject-verb agreement errors: 'people here are we have' is incorrect; it should be 'people here have'. Also, 'add up to' should be 'adds to' because the subject is singular ('behavior'). The article 'a' is needed before 'very rich cultural heritage'.
× I have lived there for over 18 years as I have been brought up here.
✓ I have lived there for over 18 years as I was brought up here.
The phrase 'have been brought up' is present perfect passive, but the correct past tense 'was brought up' is more appropriate here to indicate the completed action of upbringing in the past.
× Also, I have very memorable childhood memories with this place and I have a lot of neighbors knowing me and a lot of friends circles.
✓ Also, I have very memorable childhood memories with this place, and I have a lot of neighbors who know me and many friend circles.
'Neighbors knowing me' should be 'neighbors who know me' to correctly use relative clauses. 'A lot of friends circles' is incorrect; it should be 'many friend circles' because 'circles' is plural and 'many' is the correct quantifier.
× Yes, my hometown is a great place for young people because of the hostile nature of people living here and it offers various amenities like good school and good healthcare system.
✓ Yes, my hometown is a great place for young people because of the hospitable nature of people living here, and it offers various amenities like good schools and a good healthcare system.
'Hostile' means unfriendly or antagonistic, which is incorrect here; the correct adjective is 'hospitable' meaning welcoming. 'Good school' should be plural 'good schools' to match 'various amenities'. Also, 'good healthcare system' needs the article 'a' before it.
