Hello chandana,

Welcome to forums. If you want to add a variable's value permanently then you can add it in your .profile and then it will work for new sessions also.
Let me give you an example here.

Let's say we want to set prompt sign for a specific user then we can add it in .profile as follows.
Code:
export PS1="${LOGNAME}@$(hostname)$ "

Also following link may help you in same to understand it better.

Thanks,
R. Singh
