Welcome Lakshman,
I usually recommend folks start by doing the Derby tutorial, just to
become familiar with the product and its capabilities.
http://db.apache.org/derby/quick_start.html
And then start from the Get Involved page:
http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_comm.html
Build and test Derby trunk without any changes:
http://db.apache.org/derby/dev/derby_source.html
Also Tiago created a very good screencast for setting up your build and
test environment with eclipse.

I think some of the pages are quite dated, so as you go through the
process, it would be great if you could make notes on improvements from
the new developer perspective and then one of your first patches could
be to update the web pages. You can update the wiki pages directly
without a patch.
In Jira there are issues that are marked "Newcomer" which are great
first tasks. Please let us know if you would like assistance picking a
first task given your particular interest.
Again Welcome!
