Winning the crown of Little Miss Universe 2017 is not a mere achievement for Padmalaya Nanda from Odisha but a golden opportunity to do something for her state at international levels. Being a winner and an achiever, she feels responsible towards protecting the cultural heritage and promoting the tourism potential of Odisha. She is looking forward to working for the welfare of underprivileged children in her state.

While talking about her empathy for the helpless and her zeal to do something for the needy, the Little Miss Universe 2017 winner said, “I always celebrate my birthday in an orphanage, Swami Bichitrananda Kalyan Ashram. I also celebrate holidays – Diwali, Dusshera, New Year, and Odia New Year – with them.”

Padmalaya Nanda bagged the title “Little Miss Actress” for her Sambalpuri dance performance in the talent round of the Little Miss Universe 2017 contest. Sambalpuri is a most popular folk dance in Odisha. Recently, a dance troupe from Odisha performed Sambalpuri at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, commemorating the state’s dance week.
