    Solution

    Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs Nirmala Sitharaman dedicated to the nation, “Dharohar” - the National Museum of Customs and GST in Goa as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav Iconic week of the Ministry of Finance, being celebrated from June 6-12. The two storey ‘Blue building’, which was earlier known as Alfandega, during the period of Portuguese rule in Goa, has been standing on the banks of the Mandovi River in Panaji for more than 400 years. Dharohar is one of its kind museums in the country that showcases not only the artefacts seized by Indian Customs but also depicts various aspects of work performed by the Customs Department while safeguarding the economic frontiers of the country, its heritage, flora & fauna and the society. ‘Dharohar’ is an important addition to the Tourism Map of India and a must see attraction in Goa.
