Ravindra Chanda, is a 19-year-old farmer and owner of Alex Aquaculture Systems. By all accounts, agriculture is not a job for the faint-hearted and 19-year-old, Ravindra Chandan argues that only those with a passion for the field can be truly successful. Chandan, who fondly goes by Alex, is pursuing his diploma in Agriculture at the Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute of Technology (SJPI). He is the owner of Alex Aquaculture Systems where he builds aquaponic systems and he is also a farmer. The ambitious teen never planned to jump into the agriculture sector and his father, who is also a farmer, wanted him to pursue a career in mechanical engineering. It was when he entered upper fifth form at the St George Secondary that he thought 'maybe this is my calling'.
