It had a very humble beginning with the establishment of a kindergarten in a rented building in the year 1995, staffed by the congregation of sisters of st. Martha from kerala. With the support of the people of the area, fr. David mathew succeeded in purchasing 8 acres of land for the school and mission centre, 2 km away from the city. It was registered on 15th april 1995. As the mission centre is dedicated to st. Theresa of child jesus, it is named as pushpa nagar.
