Hello Amit,
Which version/distribution are you using? I dont have anything related to kernel in /usr/lib. /boot containts the running kernel, /usr/src/linux has the source code of the kernel.

Sometime Today, Amit D Karia assembled some asciibets to say:

Amit, fix your line length. Configure your email client to wrap long lines at 74 characters.
The file in /boot (vmlinuz....) is your kernel image. The files in /lib/modules are your kernel modules. There is no kernel image in /usr/lib.

Your message is almost unreadable. The kernel sources live in /usr/src/linuxVERSION, with a symlink from the current version to /usr/src/linux.
