Hey Ankit, The devel list would probably be a better place for this question
You can start by looking at the how to contribute wiki: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute. Once you've done that and can checkout, build, run tests, etc.. I would suggest starting out with a small change. You can search jira for items with the Label of "newbie". (https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20in%20(YARN%2C%20MAPRE DUCE%2C%20HADOOP%2C%20HDFS)%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20newbie) and try doing one of those.
