The Goa portion of the territory was granted full statehood within the Indian union on 30 May 1987,^[1] Daman and Diu remained a separate territory until December 2019, when it was merged with Dadra and Nagar Haveli and is today the territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu (Damaon, Dio & Silvassa).

The areas of Goa and Damaon are located at the southern and northern edges of the Konkan region, the two 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.

For the purposes of local administration under Indian administration, the territory was divided into three districts; namely Goa, Damaon, and Dio district, with the capital at Panjim.^[2]
