India became an independent country on 15 August 1947 but India was divided into small 562 princely states and some other independent states. Goa was still in the possession of the Portuguese.
The Government of India launched operation "Vijay" to snatch Goa from Portuguese control. Ultimately Goa became the part of Indian Republic on December 19, 1961.
On December 20, 1963; Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party's Dayanand Bandodkar took oath as the first Chief Minister of Goa, Daman and Diu. It is worth to mention that at the time of independence; Daman and Diu was also part of Goa Assembly.
