Naupada Village is behind the Holy
Cross Church, whereas Kurla village is in front of the Holy Cross Church. The
original East-Indians were the families of "Gomes", "D"mellos", "D'souzas", "Pereiras",
"Gonsalves", "Correias" & "Antaos"
Naupada village is on a height, and has never been affected by floods (Even on
26.07.2005) when Kurla just quarter of a kilometre away was drowning in 10 feet
of flood waters.
