You can set multi-line column in kendo ui grid by using following code snippet.

<style>
    .breakWord20 {
        word-break: break-all !important;
        word-wrap: break-word !important;
        vertical-align: top;
    }

    .k-grid-header .k-header {
        overflow: visible !important;
        white-space: normal !important;
    }
</style> 
......
......
 columns: [
                    {
                        field: "ProductNameProductNameProductNameProductNameProductName", headerAttributes: {
                            "class": "breakWord20"
                        }
