@NishanthiniR you may need to include python installation folder to the PATH Environment Variable. Right click on This PC => Properties => Advanced System Settings => Advanced Tab and click on Environment Variables button. Edit the Path Key and add your python folder location – Sonal Borkar Dec 11 '18 at 04:53

I've had these issues as well. There could be many reasons, one of these should fix:
1. PIP not added to system PATH
This being the most common issue and is easily missed by new users. check this for answers.
2. When you're using a python IDE such as Anaconda but haven't actually installed python directly
You can open the Anaconda Prompt (in the Anaconda file group in your start menu) and then use pip.
3. You have installed python for only the installing user (mostly admin)
Your system has multiple accounts and if you have installed using admin or similar account and missed 'install for all users', you'll need to open the CMD using 'Right click > Run as Administrator' option with a valid admin username/pwd.
