Goa was converted into a state in 1987. After gaining independence from French rule in 1954, Puducherry was integrated into the Republic of India and came to be known as the Union Territory of Puducherry. After gaining independence from Portuguese rule in 1961, Daman and Diu, and Goa were incorporated into the Republic of India. Goa was granted the status of statehood in 1987, making it the first Union Territory to do so.
