In aliases section:


Cmnd_Alias HIBERNATE = /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate, /usr/sbin/pm-suspend


in the main part:

rajan ALL=(ALL)    NOPASSWD: HIBERNATE


This should do the trick in the way that you will be able to run any
command (ALL) and you will be asked for the password, except for
commands that are defined under the HIBERNATE alias.


Fact is that once you entered the password in sudo, it will be
remembered for the rest of the session.
