Introduction:-
Dadra and Nagar Haveli is a Union Territory in western India. Nagar Haveli is wedged between Maharashtra and Gujarat, whereas Dadra is an enclave lying a few kilometres north of Nagar Haveli in Gujarat. Its capital is Silvassa. The territory lies some ten to thirty kilometres up-river from the city of Daman.
Dadra and Nagar Haveli (DNH) are in the watershed of the Daman Ganga River, which flows through the territory. The towns of Dadra and Silvassa lie on the north bank of the river. The Western Ghats range rises to the east, and the foothills of the range occupy the eastern portion of the district. The territory is landlocked, although the Arabian Sea coast lies just to the west in Gujarat.
The major spoken languages in the territory are Gujarati, Hindi and Marathi.
The area of Dadra and Nagar Haveli is spread over 491 km2, landlocked between Gujarat to the north and Maharashtra to the south. It was liberated from its Portuguese rulers on 2 August 1954. The people of the territory established free administration of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, which was finally merged into the Union of India in 1961.
Administration
A Lieutenant Governor administers the territory, which covers an area of 188 sq mi or 487 km² and consists of two talukas. Currently the lieutenant governor is B.S . Bhalla.
Total Population – 3.5 lakh * Dadra * Nagar Haveli
Dadra is the headquarters of Dadra taluka, comprising Dadra town and two other villages. Silvassa is the headquarters of Nagar Haveli taluka, comprising Silvassa town and 68 other villages.
Over a period of time, there has been significant increase in the activities of the UT
Administration because of rapid growth and establishment of business and industrial activity in the area with a consequent increase in the population.This has necessitated strong presence in the departments dealing with commercial taxes, labour, employment and factories. Programmes dealing with primary education and health have also substantially increased. Unfortunately, there has not been a corresponding increase in the operational staff of the concerned departments. This inadequacy of staff has also affected activities relating to promotion of tourism and implementation of centrally Sponsored Schemes.

National Disease Control Programme
NLEP
D&N Haveli is one of the 3 states/UT yet to achieve the goal of elimination of leprosy. Large numbers of new leprosy cases are being reported from the UT every year which suggest active transmission of the disease in the community. The UT is advised to carry out in-depth situational analysis in blocks reporting large number of new cases and take suitable actions.
