Mid Western University is a state-run university in Surkhet, the regional headquarters of the midwestern development region of Nepal. As part of the Nepal government's policy to establish regional universities to expand easy access of higher education to the people of this region, the government of Nepal formed a team in 07-12-2007 to establish Mid Western University in Birendranagar by 2009.[1]

It serves as a regional university for the 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 are very happy by the decision of the government. They had contributed significantly into the fundraising program started by the preparation committee led by Bhushan Manandhar. About 220 bighas of land and 15 million Nepali rupees were raised from the enthusiastic people in this small town.
