== Early Life & Background ==
Jaideep was 4 months old when he was given wrong vaccination for his fever by the doctor resulting in loss of strength in his left leg. Retaining a keen interest in the sport from an early age, Jaideep started practising and competing in the discus throw in 2007 upon suggestions from his friends. His father, recently retired from Rajasthan police and his family, living in a small village on the outskirts of Rohtak, was not familiar with sports before. However, egged on by his uncle, Jaideep used to be a regular trainer in the fields of his native village.

== Career ==
Jaideep idolizes Hockey Legend Major Dhyanchand and his sporting career has seen him represent India at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London, 2014 Asian Para and Commonwealth Games and the 2015 World Para Athletics Championships. Last year Jaideep took to powerlifting as well and has recently represented his country at the 2017 World Para Athletics Championships in the Discus throw, also qualified for the 2017 World Powerlifting Championships
