Hello Arunthampy,
I'm sorry but I don't have a better solution for you. I just wanted to tell you that I will never use a OCR program again to convert a scanned image to text. From my previous experience, the number of errors is way too high and I prefer to type the text again instead of loosing time to correct the result of the optical character recognition.
It is true, in some cases the results can be satisfying, but this depends much on the quality of the scanned image.

it is very hard to convert hand written text using OCR softwares. they are just used to convert typed content.
