There is a general misconception that the Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CPCSEA) is a creation of Mrs. Maneka Gandhi, the erstwhile Minister of Animal Welfare. Few people actually know that the constitution of the CPCSEA was envisaged under Section 15 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act passed in 1960. The purpose of the Committee is to control and supervise experiments performed on animals.
