Hailing from Kalleda village in Parvathagiri Mandal, Warangal district, Jeevanji Deepti is the daughter of Yadagiri and Lakshmi, a couple from a financially disadvantaged background. Despite facing challenges such as intellectual disabilities and mental health struggles in her early years, Deepti displayed an unwavering passion for sports. Recognizing her potential, her parents encouraged her relentlessly. At one point, Yadagiri sold their one-acre farmland to support her aspirations.

Deepti’s perseverance and determination propelled her to become a formidable athlete, earning a bronze medal in the Paralympics and making her state and nation proud.
