About the Mosque in Goa

The Mosque-cum-madrasa at Verna Goa took three-and-half years to build and was formally inaugurated on 27th January 2019. It was built at a cost of Rs 170 crores. As per Oxford Dictionary Madrasa means school of Islamic education.

It has been named after famous Uttar Pradesh Saint Maulana Ashraf. The place would be called Ashraf Nagar.  The efforts put in by people from Hindu and Christian community for planning and execution of the project have been acknowledged. This is what I call real India. Secular at the ground level.

The school and the madrasa have been completed. The work on college and technical institute will start soon. It is interesting to note that this will be the first madrasa which will impart education in English medium.

We move on to KBG (Kaun Banega Ghumakkad) Round-7. Look out for the next post.
