UNION TERRITORY OF DADRA AND NAGAR HAVELI 

The Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli is situated on the 

Western coast of India between the parallels of 20º – 0’ and 20º – 25’ of 

latitude North and between the meridian 72º – 50’ and 73º – 15’ of 

longitude East. Its population is 2,20,490 ( 1,21,666 male and 98,824 

female ) as per 2001-Census data. It has an area of 491 Sq.Km. as per 

the Surveyor General of India, and comprises of two enclaves, viz. (1) 

Dadra and (2) Nagar Haveli, having 72 villages. Silvassa, the capital of 

this U.T. and another village Amli are treated as non-statutory Census 

town in population census 2001. The territory is surrounded by Valsad 

District of Gujarat on the West, North and East and by Thana District of 

Maharashtra on the South and South-East. It has hilly terrain especially 

towards the North-East and East where it is surrounded by ranges of 

Sahyadri Mountains (Western Ghats). The terrain is intersected by the 

River Daman Ganga and its three tributaries. The river rises in the Ghat 

64 km. from the Western coast and discharges itself in the Arabian Sea 

at the port of Daman. The climate is moderate and generally healthy in 

the Central zone, though hot during summer. The rainy season is 

normally from June to September. The Union territory receives an 

annual rainfall between 2000 to 2500 mm. During 2007 the rainfall was 

2612.6 mm. 

The nearest Railway station is Vapi which is about 18 km. from 

Silvassa. The U.T. is linked with National Highway No. 8. 

Dadra and Nagar Haveli was born on 17 th December, 1779 as a 

result of a treaty between Portuguese and Marathas. The Marathas 

assigned 72 villages to Portuguese in return of their friendship and the 

group of 72 villages came to be known as Dadra and Nagar Haveli. The 

Portuguese ruled this Territory until its liberation on 2 nd August, 1954. 

After its liberation, the Administration was carried on by local body 

known as Free Dadra and Nagar Haveli Administration till its merger 

with the Indian Union on 11 th August, 1961. Consequently, the Free 

Dadra and Nagar Haveli Administration was succeeded by formal 

statutory Administration headed by an Administrator. 

Dadra and Nagar Haveli comprising of 72 villages including 

Silvassa and Amli, the Census Town, forms a single District and 

single Taluka Union territory. All the villages have been 

divided into 11 Patelads for revenue purpose. For 

implementation of Panchayati Raj system, 11 Village Panchayats have 

been constituted consisting of elected members. The U. T. 

has no legislature. 

(ii)

Page 4 of 51 

However, there is a District Panchayat comprising of representatives 

from all Village Panchayats which has been delegated certain powers 

and duties under Village Panchayat Rules. One seat of Lok Sabha has 

been allotted to the U.T. Silvassa Municipality has came in existence 

since 2006. 

During the year 2000-2001 the New Secretariat Building was 

constructed & all offices under Secretariat which were functioning at 

Circuit House Silvassa were shifted to new building. The building was 

inaugurated by the then Union Home Minister Hon. L.K. Advani on 16 th 

December, 2000.

assisted by the Development Commissioner / Secretary (Finance),
