One of the Chairs was in honour of the Pioneer Indian Meterologist, Dr. The Government of India, in 2020, announced 11 chairs in the name of eminent Indian women scientists in various fields to inspire, encourage, empower women and give due recognition to young women researchers excelling in various fields. In 1987, Mani won the INSA K Ramanathan Medal for her significant contributions to the field of science. Post her retirement, she was appointed as the Trustee of the Raman Research Institute in Bangalore. Popularly known as the ‘Weather Woman of India’ her work and research made it possible for India to make accurate weather forecasts and laid the groundwork for the nations to harness renewable energy. Throughout the 1950s, she established a network of solar radiation monitoring stations and published several papers on sustainable energy measurement.

She also held positions in the United Nations World Meteorological Organization, and in 1987, she received the INSA K. Mani retired as the deputy director-general of the Indian Meteorological Department in 1976. The scientists standardised the drawings for nearly 100 different weather instruments and started their production. However, she was awarded a government scholarship for an internship in England. During that time, she studied instruments, their calibration and standardisation. Mani was particularly interested in solar energy and set up a network of stations in India to measure solar radiation. This was not a simple task; she worked with 121 men under her, and she assembled a group of Indian scientists and engineers to carry on the task. During her time at the department, she helped the country manufacture its weather instruments, and in 1953, she became the head of the division. During her education, she was drawn to socialist ideas, and at the age of 22, she earned a scholarship at the Indian Institute of Science. - In 1945, when she was 27, she went to the Imperial College London and specialised in meteorological instrumentation. She worked on the spectroscopy of diamonds and rubies; her work led to five research papers and a PhD dissertation. She was the seventh of eight children and a keen reader.

The medal recognized her contributions to science. Mani took a deep interest in solar radiation and began to design and manufacture instruments to measure radiation in the late 1950s. She went on to earn her bachelor's degree with honors in physics and chemistry in 1939. Her passion began as a young girl when she is said to have loved reading. "What is this hoopla about women and science?" She also standardized the blueprint for approximately 100 weather instruments and began production, according to Women's Web. She also recognized the potential of wind energy. Venkiteshwaran hoped to make India self-reliant in meteorology and weather. "First equip yourself for the job, make full use of your talents and then love and enjoy the work." Mani's life work led to her moniker "Weather Woman." Her work enabled India to make accurate weather predictions. The images spell out "Google" on the search engine's homepage.
