Hi, 
You can try this also: 
df1<-read.table(text=" 
Name  Age  Place 
Aby          12        USA 
Raj            25        UK 
Romi        32        ENG 
Amy        31        IND 
",sep="",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactor=FALSE) 

#row index 
unlist(apply(df1,1,function(x) which(grepl("ENG",x)))) 
#[1] 3 
#column index 
 unlist(apply(df1,2,function(x) which(grepl("ENG",x)))) 
#Place 
  #  3 
#or, you can use 
 arrayInd(which(df1=="ENG"), dim(df1)) 
#     [,1] [,2] 
#[1,]    3    3 
#or 
 df2<-as.matrix(df1) 
 arrayInd(which(grepl("ENG",df2)), dim(df2)) 
#     [,1] [,2] 
#[1,]    3    3
