Explanation
The Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) is a statutory advisory body established under Section 4 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. It was set up in 1962 under the stewardship of Smt. Rukmini Devi Arundale, and the authoritative book source explicitly states that the Board’s headquarters are at Chennai. This historical and institutional description in the cited book is the basis for selecting Chennai as the location of the AWBI headquarters [1].
