Naginder Singh Sehmi was born in Eldoret, Kenya in January 1937. He started his career in his hometown as a trained primary school teacher and Wood Badge scoutmaster.
From early age he was interested in science and mathematics. He considered other branches as general knowledge requiring little effort to learn. Kenya did not have an university then. His father could not afford to send him to UK to study for a scientific or engineering career. He earned a Kenya government teachers’ scholarship that permitted him to attend Trinity College, Dublin University, Ireland. In his effort to derive the maximum benefit during the four year, 1959-1963, he obtained a general degree in history, geography and experimental psychology and simultaneously passed a postgraduate Diploma in Geography and a Diploma in Public Administration. He also left a mark in sports and student societies, which enabled him to attend conferences in Europe as well as the 1961 Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm and teach in international children’s summer camps in Switzerland and New Hampshire, USA.
He taught in a high school in Eldoret for two years and in 1965 joined Kenya Water Department as hydrologist. The following year he went to Prague, Czech Republic and obtained a Diploma in Hydrology. In 1969 he was appointed co-manager of Hydro-meteorological Survey of the Upper Nile, a multinational UN funded project.
At the beginning of 1970 he was selected for a post in the Hydrology and Water Resources Department of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), a specialized agency of the UN located in Geneva, Switzerland. He retired in 1997. During the last ten years in WMO he was responsible for development projects related to monitoring and assessment of water resources and flood forecasting in developing countries.
