Checkbox disabled in KendoUI grid

[Sree Rachakonda]

Hi there,
I have grid inside a TabStrip and the grid has a boolean column which is shown as checkbox... this is perfectly fine. But now my concern is even though my grid's editable property is set to true the check box is disabled. i tried adding the checkbox using a template column.
I am getting this error: Inline markup blocks (@<p>Content</p>) cannot be nested.  Only one level of inline markup is allowed. Below are the two ways i tried setting the checkbox column.

columns.Template(p => @<text><input type="checkbox" value="" #= @p.Approved?checked="checked":"" #  /></text>).Width(60).Title("").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "background-image:url(../../Content/ImagesAite/th_appr.png); " }).HtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center" });<br>     columns.Bound(p => p.Approved).Width(60).Title("").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "background-image:url(../../Content/ImagesAite/th_appr.png); " }).HtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center" });<br>

Also the alignment of the checkbox column is left aligned even though i set the text-align property of the column to center. Also i would like to know to fix the height of the grid rows.... is it possible to switch off word wrapping.... 

Thanks in advance
