Before 34 years, there was not any institution of higher education in Kailali District. The absence of educational opportunities after SLC created an urgent social demand for establishment of a campus in the district. Prior to the establishment of Kailali Multiple Campus (KMC), most of the students of this region had to go to Kathmandu or India for further studies after passing the SLC. The people
of Kailali thus took the initiative for the establishment of a campus. As a result, Kailali Commerce Campus later renamed as Kailali Multiple Campus was established in 1980. Financial and other resources required for the establishment of the campus were raised from the efforts and sacrifice of local people. All segments of the society liberally contributed to the campus fund. Initially, KMC was run in Panchodaya School and there were less than 100 students. In 1983, it was shifted to its present premises. At present, KMC has became one of the largest community based campuses of Nepal and there are more than 7,000 students (including +2 programme) studying in the Campus. Since its establishment, KMC has prepared thousands of students who are serving several aspects of life within the country and abroad. KMC has been a pioneering community based educational institution of Nepal. It is located in a picturesque and peaceful surroundings in the eastern part of Dhangadhi Municipality. The campus is an autonomous and not- for- profit organization established solely for the purpose of providing higher education. It is affiliated with Tribhuvan University of Nepal. Due to good quality of education, adequate physical infrastructure, affordable fees and convenient location for all districts of the Far Western Region, KMC has been the center of excellence in higher education.
