Centralized Event Information Platform Sneha Kumbhar1, Atharva Khairnar2, Swaraj Langhe 3, Harshali Latake4, Aryan Kokate, Vivek Nagnath5 Students, Department of Information Technology, Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Pune, Maharashtra, India ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------1.1 Literature Review Abstract - In colleges and universities, students often struggle to keep track of the many events happening around them—ranging from workshops and seminars to hackathons and sports activities. Information is usually scattered across different platforms, making it timeconsuming and difficult to stay updated. The challenge is even greater for visually impaired students, who face barriers in accessing event details through traditional communication methods. To overcome these gaps, we designed a Centralized Event Information Platform, a webbased solution that brings all event details together in one place. The system not only allows students to browse, track, and register for events but also integrates a Text-toSpeech (TTS) feature to make the platform more accessible. Automated email updates further ensure that students receive timely reminders and confirmations. By reducing information gaps and promoting inclusivity, the platform encourages higher participation and helps create a more engaging and supportive campus environment.
The paper “Best Practices in Web Design” by B. Smith and J. Doe helped shape the project’s accessibility features. It inspired the use of the Web Speech API for text-to-speech, ARIA tags for screen readers, and keyboard navigation to support visually impaired users. “Data-Driven Decision Making in Education” by W. Brown guided the platform’s use of data analytics to manage events, track participation, and improve recommendations through user data and automated emails. The Google Developers module “Using Text-to-Speech for Accessibility” supported the integration of voice features to make the system more user-friendly for visually impaired users. “Designing for Accessibility” by J. Green and P. Lee influenced the inclusion of keyboard navigation, ARIA attributes, and responsive design for better accessibility on all devices. The “Event Management System” by Vinay Mishra et al. helped in developing the “Book Events” feature, which handles scheduling, reminders, and event coordination efficiently. “A Web Accessing Tool for Blind and Visually Impaired People” by Fajar and Muliaa A. Ayu inspired features like speech input and text-to-speech for easier access to event information. “Visually Impaired E-Commerce” by Mallika Chand et al. guided the use of voice commands, audio feedback, and recommendation systems for a better user experience. “PerSEEption” by De Jesus and Gapilitan influenced the platform’s design for accessibility, adding audio feedback and supportive learning tools. “Voice-Based Online Examination System” by Dharmasena and Jayakody inspired the use of speech technologies for smooth and secure interactions. Lastly, “Social Media Personal Event Notifier” by Pavithiran and Padmanabhan guided the use of NLP and machine learning to collect and prioritize event data effectively.
1.INTRODUCTION College clubs are host to a wide variety of events that not only add to academics but also are a source of extracurricular activities. Centralized Event Information Platform aims to create a user-friendly website that consolidates information about various club events like hackathons, seminars, sport events, workshops, cultural or technical activities and many such events which play a vital role in student development. However, the lack of a centralized information source creates challenges for students seeking relevant events. This platform addresses the challenge of finding and tracking events by providing a single source of information. Additionally, the platform includes an API to make event details accessible to visually impaired students through textto-speech speech functionality. This promotes inclusivity and encourages equal participation for all students. Overall, this platform simplifies event discovery, reduces time consumption and empowers students to engage in co-curricular and extracurricular activities. It creates a positive social impact by making events more accessible to visually impaired students, hence boosting their social moraleimpact by making events more accessible to visually impaired students, hence boosting their social morale

1.2Methodology A. System Architecture The system architecture ensures modularity, scalability, and accessibility through three layers [11]: 1. Front-end Layer: Built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to provide a responsive UI and smooth UX. It communicates with the back-end via HTTP requests and API calls. 2. Back-end Layer: Developed with Flask (Python), it handles routing, user requests, data validation, and API interactions.
