Hello Suraj,

You can easily use the RadGrid's client-side API to achieve the functionality you desire. Here is an example of how you might create a JavaScript method that would take a column name and return that column's index:

function getColumnIndexByUniqueName(columnName) {
    var masterTableView = $find('<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>').get_masterTableView();
    var column = masterTableView.getColumnByUniqueName(columnName);
    var element = column.get_element();
    return element.cellIndex;
}

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
