India decided to launch this mission to provide critical aid to certain Indian Ocean countries and fulfil the aim of the SAGAR policy.

Note that Mission Sagar and the SAGAR policy doctrine are essentially linked. Further, this mission came about as an offshoot of the SAGAR policy for maritime cooperation.
