Hi Sumeet, 

The class of software you're seeking is known as Data Loss Prevention
(DLP) software. 

OpenDLP was recently released in a first version by a former colleague
of mine, and would be worth a look.  All the major security vendors 
seem to have some flavor of DLP solution out there as well.  They
generally have a notion of defining data you care about, various
levels of control restricting removable drives, some going so far as
to only allow company issued cryptographic USB keys to be used on
managed PC's, and mating with full disk encryption solutions and all
such fun stuff.
