Welcome to LQ.
Please describe these challenges in concise details.
Start with Nagios version. How was it installed?

There are no less than 6 places to define contacts:
Host definitions
Host group definitions
Service definitions

Without knowing what version and how it was installed, have a look at /etc/nagios/objects/contacts.cfg and review.

-Nagios version.
it is Version icinga-web/v1.11.1
-How was it installed?
its is installed on ubuntu 14.04.1 and postfix for email is installed & working fine(this has been tested)

Challenges are basically on configuring email functionality with icinga to send email notifications once an alert has been generated
