Upon checking the python version, I get the following error message:

In the Start Menu, Python 3.9 shortcut is present, and when I click on that
it takes me to Python 3.9(64-bit) CMD. Just to test, I add a print
statement.

In other words, your Python installation is working fine. So what's the
problem?
Can someone kindly assist or direct me to where I can find a solution
python itself isn't normally in the path. this is in common with every
app you install on Windows, where they all go to their own place. some
installers force-add their path to the environment, Python gives you a
choice, which you can go back to the installer to activate. More
commonly, if you use the python.org installer, you also install the
Python Launcher which helps with a variety of problems, in particular
with making sense of when you have multiple Python versions installed.
If you installed that, launch Python by typing "py" (rather than "python").
