Diva, once a small village in the Agri and Koli community near the Ulhas River, has experienced significant growth since 2004 due to Mumbai's expansion.

Originally consisting of several small villages like West Diva, Sabe, Datiwali, Betawde and Agasan, the area has seen its population rise from about 4,000 to around 500,000.

The local community, primarily Marathi Konkani with members from UP, Gujarat, and South India, depends heavily on trains for commuting.

There is a need for better roads, improved connectivity, enhanced drainage systems, government healthcare facilities, educational institutions, parks for senior citizens, playgrounds for children, and improved public transportation to meet the needs of its growing population.
