The first CMS missionaries to North India did not reach Calcutta until 1816. In Madras a Corresponding Committee was formed in November 1814 and the missionaries arrived the following year. A Corresponding Committee for CMS work in Bombay was formed in June 1818, though the first missionary did not arrive until 1820.

On 30 July 1924 the Standing Committee of Dornakal Diocesan Council made the Kistna Administrative Committee responsible for the work of the Telegu and Khammamett Church Councils, including the Church of England Zenana Missionary Society's work in Dornakal diocese.
