Goa, Daman and Diu was a union territory of the Republic of India in between 1961-1987 AD, established after the annexation of Portuguese India. Following the Goan Opinion Poll in 1967, the Goan portion of the territory was granted full statehood within the Indian union on 30 May 1987,[1] Daman and Diu remained separate as a separate union territory until December 2019, when it was re-merged with Dadra and Nagar Haveli and is today the territory of Damaon, Diu& Silvassa.

The areas of Goa and Damaon are located at southern and northern edges of the Konkan region, geographically separated from each other by land and sea, the two areas were among the many other possessions that were ruled over for centuries, by the Portuguese in Goa and Bombay-Bassein.

For the purposes of local administration, the territory was divided into three districts, Goa, Daman, and Diu, with the capital at Panjim.[2]
