Add a path in $PATH globally for every user
Do we have anyway to add a path globally so that each user gets it in $PATH. I want to add path of ANT so that each user doesn't need to add it in his $PATH variable.

If you intend users to run a particular shell, say bash, then you could add theexportline in/etc/bashrcas it will be read systemwide.

Global paths should be set in /etc/profile or /etc/environment, just add this line to /etc/profile:
PATH=$PATH:/path/to/ANT/bin

Many Linux distributions support the Linux Standard Base /etc/profile.d directory where configurations such as additional paths directives can go without touching the stock system files. The file name just needs an .sh extension.
For example
cat >> /etc/profile.d/some_name.sh << EOF
PATH=$PATH:/path/to/ANT/bin
EOF
