Mid Western University is a state run university located in Surkhet, the regional headquarters of the midwestern development region of Nepal. As part of Nepal Governments' policy to establish regional universities in order to expand easy access of higher education to the people of this region, the government of Nepal had formed a team in 07-12-2007 to establish Mid-Western University in Birendranagar within 2009.[1] This serves as a regional university for the whole Mid-western Development Regions of Nepal. This university is expected to make the change of strategy over the education system of this region. The locals of this city are very happy by the decision of the government. They had contributed significantly into the fundraising program started by the preparation committee led by Mr. Bhushan Manandhar. About 220 Bigha's of land and 15 million Nepali Rupees was raised from the enthusiastic people in this small town. Mr. Moti Prasad Sapkota, an all time philanthropist and education supporter, became the biggest donor by financing a million Nepali rupees toward the establishment of this higher education endeavor.

Mr. Padam Lal Devekota was appointed as the first Vice Chancellor of the university and he served the university for about 2 year before leaving the university over some controversy. With the recent appointment of Kali Prasad pandey as the second Vice Chancellor and Dr. Mahendra kumar Malla as registrar, the university is fully functional. Admission for the various streams has been started. Vice Chancellor is the highest ranking executive in the university because Chancellor of all universities in Nepal is the Prime Minister himself.
