The St.Thomas Orthodox Theological Seminary was founded by H.G Stephanos Mar Theodosious in the year 1996. Initially the Seminary was built in the St. Thomas Ashram at Bhilai. But later in 1999, the Seminary was relocated to its current position in Nagpur.
Nagpur was accepted as the place for the New Seminary not only because of its location in the centre of India but also because of its proximity to all the four outside Kerala dioceses. His Holiness Moran Mar Baselios Marthoma Mathews II laid the foundation stone for the New Seminary building in Kalmeshwar on 10 Dec 1997. The Seminary functioned in Bhilai till the summer of 1999 under the leadership of H.G Stephanos Mar Theodosius as its principal.
On 7th July 1999 the Seminary was shifted to Nagpur. Fr.Dr. Reji Mathew was appointed as the new principal. In February 2003, the Senate of Serampore College (University) affiliated the Seminary.
