Thanks guys. That works. Btw, I realized something. If I enable lyx preview
and then type \S in the math box, the symbol comes. So may be there is no
need to insert it as a latex command

Sree,

  It depends on whether you want the symbol in math mode or text mode.
Different fonts, different presentation. You can also type \alpha in an ERT
box and put the alpha symbol in the line of text.

  On CTAN you'll find a book that lists all possible symbols and their LaTeX
codes. It's a valuable desktop reference.
