You might want to check out Missing Maps, missingmaps.org. I've been
involved with a number of efforts to map areas for just your purpose. MM
uses the HOT tasking manager tools [1] to break the work up into manageable
size and then opens it up so everyone can contribute. It just takes someone
willing to create a task and help spread the word. Andhra Pradesh is a
large state so I would suggest starting off with more vulnerable areas,
like coastal areas, first.

I did check OSM - overpass reported more than 200Mb of buildings - that's
before the query crashed from the size.
