First of, you should use [code] and [/code] not <code> and </code>

Code:
Name                       Age
-------------- ---------------
Raju P                20 years
Hari                  25 years
Priya S               30 years

Code:
$ awk '/years$/ {$(NF-1)="is "$(NF-1); $1="The age of "$1; print $0}' mydatafile
The age of Raju P is 20 years
The age of Hari is 25 years
The age of Priya S is 30 years

If you really want to use read and while (cant think why):
Code:
while read
do
    echo "$REPLY" | awk '/years$/ {$(NF-1)="is "$(NF-1); $1="The age of "$1; print $0}'
done < mydatafile
