Hello Sudheer,

You can add a table to the group header and add the button and the header text into the table cells, in the ItemDataBound and ItemCreated events of the grid. You can also set the click event handler of the button in the ItemCreated event. Check out the code below:
cs:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
       if (e.Item is GridGroupHeaderItem)
        {
            GridGroupHeaderItem groupHeader = (GridGroupHeaderItem)e.Item;
            string strtxt = groupHeader.DataCell.Text;
            Button btn = new Button();
            btn.ID = "Button1";
            btn.Text = "Button";
            btn.Click += new EventHandler(btn_Click);
            Label lbl = new Label();
            lbl.ID = "Label";

            Table table = new Table();
            TableRow row = new TableRow();
            table.Rows.Add(row);
            TableCell cell1 = new TableCell();
            cell1.Controls.Add(lbl);
            TableCell cell2 = new TableCell();
            cell2.Controls.Add(btn);
            table.Rows[0].Cells.Add(cell1);
            table.Rows[0].Cells.Add(cell2);

            groupHeader.DataCell.Controls.Add(table);
        }
     }

void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
       if(e.Item is GridGroupHeaderItem)
        {
            GridGroupHeaderItem groupHeader = (GridGroupHeaderItem)e.Item;
            string strtxt = groupHeader.DataCell.Text;
            Button btn = new Button();
            btn.ID = "Button1";
            btn.Text = "Button";
            Label lbl = new Label();
            lbl.ID = "Label";
            lbl.Text = strtxt;

            Table table = new Table();
            TableRow row = new TableRow();
            table.Rows.Add(row);
            TableCell cell1 = new TableCell();
            cell1.Controls.Add(lbl);
            TableCell cell2 = new TableCell();
            cell1.Controls.Add(btn);
            table.Rows[0].Cells.Add(cell1);
            table.Rows[0].Cells.Add(cell2);

            groupHeader.DataCell.Controls.Add(table);
        }
      }

Thanks
