Thanks Yakov.
Well I'll try as suggested.
Please do let me know if I need to add anylines to .vimrc file to get these
scripts(inside .vim) activated. Also, Please update me if I need to copy the
scripts already present in VIMRUNTIME to my local directory structure inside
.vim.
Also, as I saw in the VIMRUNTIME path there are lots of directories and each
directory is contaning scripts. e.g. Syntax.
Does these scripts gets activated when I open any file in vim or I need to
give any command in .vimrc file to do the same.
~regards~

Those installation instructions are wrong. *Don't* put anything
into global $VIMRUNTIME. Do as follows. Create directory $HOME/.vim/plugin
(or $HOME/.vim/syntax $HOME/.vim/colors etc) and put new script under
$HOME/.vim/something. The "runtime" command will pick it from there
just as well as if it were under global vimruntime. If you look
attentively at the default value of 'set runtimepath?', you'll see that
it already contains $HOME/.vim.

Don't do it. Just do what I described above, it's enough.
