Early career

Born in Manipur, to a Hindu Meitei family. Bidyananda was selected for the Sports Authority of India in 2008 at the age of 11.[1] The move to the Sports Authority of India was a major decision for Singh, as it allowed his family to not have to pay for his care as the academy would pay for his football coaching and his food: "Moving to the SAI complex meant that my parents didn’t have to worry about my meals, nor did they have to worry about my equipment as the academy provided me with the boots and kit."[1] Singh soon impressed scouts from the All India Football Federation under-13 side and was called up for international camps. In 2014, he was one of two Indians who played in a one-week camp at the Aspire Academy in Qatar.[2] After the camp, Bidyananda became the second Indian, after Milan Basumatary, to be selected into the tournament all-star side.[2] Singh also impressed scouts well enough at the tournament to be scouted by Spanish side Barcelona.[2] After returning from Qatar, Singh played for the AIFF Elite Academy.[2]
