The Government of India formed another committee consisting of Sri T. P. Singh, Secretary Ministry of Education and Social Welfare, Sri. R. K. Chhabra, secretary, U.G.C. and Sri N. D. J. Rao, Education Commissioner, Bihar, to look into the matter. The committee reported that the establishment of a separate and independent University at Darbhanga could be considered on merit. As an outcome the Mithila University was established in Darbhanga under an ordinance in 1972 carving out colleges at Darbhanga division and Kosi division from the then two Universities – Bihar University, Muzaffarpur and Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur respectively.

In 1975 the Mithila University was renamed as Lalit Narayan Mithila University. But it was soon reversed to the original name through an ordinance. Later in 1980, the name Lalit Narayan Mithila University was restored through an ordinance. In 1986 the University got recognition from University Grants Commission (UGC) of India under section 12 (A) of the UGC Act. Since February 1989 the University is getting institutional development grants under section 12(B) of the UGC Act. The Lalit Narayan Mithila University is one of the prime institutions for providing higher education in Bihar. The university conducts various courses through its different faculties and affiliated colleges at graduate, postgraduate, and research level. The university offers hostel facilities for men and women.
