Union Minister of State for Defence, Sanjay Seth, presided over the commissioning ceremony, which was hosted by Vice Admiral Rajesh Pendharkar, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Naval Command. The ship is part of a series of four survey vessels under construction by Garden Reach Shipbuilding & Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata.

The secondary role of the vessel is to serve as a hospital ship and to take part in Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) missions. The vessel is the successor of the former ship 'Nirdeshak,' that served the Indian Navy with distinction for over three decades. It was decommissioned on December 19, 2014.
