Assolna
Assolna (Osollnnem) is a village in the Salcete taluka of South Goa district, in the state of Goa, India. It is known for restaurants, the small traditional market, and local institutions. The Sal river flows through this village.
Assolna is located at 15°11′N 73°58′E / 15.18°N 73.97°E. It has an average elevation of 10 m (33 ft).
Assolna is 11 km from Margao, the main South Goa district headquarters town. It is 13.9 km away from Quepem and Curtorim village is 22.1 km away.
In its environs are Chinchinim (4.6 km away), Velim (3 km), Ambelim (3 km), Cuncolim (2.4 km), and Cavelossim. Assolna nestles between these villages. It is locally administered by a village panchayat, whose building was inaugurated in October 1984.
As per the 2011 Census, it had a population of 3410 persons, in 891 homes. There were 1669 men and 1741 women. Its literate population was 2923 persons.
Folklore traces the other name of the village of Assolna, as “Oslem-na”, according to Bennett Paes. That in vernacular Konkani translates as “There’s nothing like it”. Be it fantasy or fact, what substantiates the significance of that sobriquet are the following events of the past.
Here is a translated portion from Portuguese, of what the Portuguese Administrator, residing in Assolna in the 1890s wrote:
Besides the capital city of Nova Goa and a few other administrative places, there is no other town in Portuguese India of greater importance than Assolna. It is a seat of Civic Administration. The main reason is that, being situated on the bank of river Sal, it serves as a commercial centre and a docking point for domestic ships carrying on coastal trade as far as Bombay to the north.
