Mr. Ghanshyam Srivastva is the Chief Convenor of the Zonal structure.
An endeavour of the outreach committee, the sole purpose is to form a united platform whereby members of CINTAA get connected with other members of CINTAA who happen to dwell in close proximity to each other.
The structures help members stay connected with each other. Senior members are visited regularly to keep a tab on their well-being. Certain members also visit members in need regularly and ensure that they are just a call away.
