when i try to view my list in the interface, it is giving a message
No such list mtech-cs-2010
See my reply to your off list message.
Everything points to two Mailman installations. All the command line stuff you are doing is with a Mailman installation that is not the same as the one accessed via the web.
Check the ScriptAlias for mailman in the web server and see where it points.
i then added few members to the list using /bin/add_members -r s mtech-cs-2010
s is the file containing list of mail ids
it gave the following
dcis:/var/mailman/bin # ./add_members -r s mtech-cs-2010 /var/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py:469: DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated raise quickexit
See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/pYA9> for information about which Mailman versions are compatible with which Python versions.

Your Mailman instalation in /usr/lib/mailman is not the same Mailman installation as the one in /var/mailman. These appear to be two different installations. You are creating lists with /var/mailman/bin/newlist, etc. and your web server and your aliases point to the installation in /usr/lib/mailman which is not the same Mailman instance.
