Thanks Mark.
I was using the following command as I got it in the manual.
g_dist -f  traj.xtc -s topol.tpr -n index.ndx -o dist.xvg
But I could not able to find the way how to specify the indices of the
two desired atoms.
( suppose I want to plot the distance between atom no. 500 (protein
backbone) and atom no. 879 (ligand atom) with respect to time)

See manual 8.1 for discussion, and http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Gromacs_Utilities/make_ndx for more.

But in my case I want to plot the distance between one  atom in the
backbone of the protein and other atom present in the ligand. Then how
can I specify these two atoms I need for plotting the distance between
them.

g_dist treats the system as a list of atoms, and is ignorant of details like
molecules. So you just need to tell it which atoms via their indices.

Dear All,

I want to calculate the distance between the nitrogen atom present in
the ligand and the H- attached to the backbone of the protein along a
long trajectory. So can anyone suggest me how to consider these two
atoms to calculate and plot the distance along with the time ?

g_dist with appropriate index groups.
