Static government press releases face several limitations like Lack of Interactivity, Limited Engagement, Potential for Misinterpretation, Timing Issues etc. that can impact their effectiveness and ability to communicate information to the public. Dynamic and accessible channel for information dissemination using artificial intelligence and automation overcome the required limitations by transforming traditional textual press releases into engaging multimedia videos. The videos, available in 12 Indian regional languages along with English, empower individuals across the linguistic spectrum to access crucial government updates effortlessly. Summarization of content, real-time translation, and text-to-speech conversion underpin this transformative process. The project leverages 2D animation and synchronized speech to deliver content in a visually appealing and user-friendly format. The integrated multimedia elements enhancing the overall experience and impact. This initiative strives to bridge language barriers, ensure public awareness, and foster meaningful engagement by facilitating the delivery of government information in a simplified manner. The social impact extends beyond linguistic diversity, fostering informed citizenship and contributing to a more transparent and accessible government communication landscape. The proposed work transformed raw press releases into a dynamic and engaging multimedia experience. This work initiates with a meticulous web crawling strategy to navigate the PIB website and acquire press releases in PDF format and then convert the PDFs into structured JSON format, providing a foundation for further analysis and manipulation. Text summarization condenses extensive news articles into concise summaries, ensuring that users can quickly grasp the essence of each release. These summaries translated into 9 Indian regional languages, by facilitating a broader reach and understanding and also convert these translated summaries into audio files to help the visual impaired peoples.
