The purpose of SEATO was to help ensure stability to South East Asia and stop the spread of communism to the area. It was designed to be similar to NATO and created because of the Truman Doctrine. The members of SEATO were: Australia, France, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The US attempted to get help from SEATO's member nations in Vietnam but was unsuccessful. The organization disbanded in 1977 officially.

Why seato formed after France withdrew from Indochina in 1954?

SEATO was actually formed around that time frame, and France was part of SEATO. SEATO was dissolved in about 1977 because France and Pakistan withdrew from SEATO. SEATO was formed to protect the free nations of South East Asia "Treaty Organization" from a communist attack. France had little to nothing to do with why and when SEATO was formed; communism had something to do with it.
