R is not been able to connect to the CRAN repository, is your internet connection behind a proxy server or firewall? That is usually the case when you are at work or school.

I found solutions for this error. Thanks to community.

We have to go to Tools-->Global Option-->Packages. Here uncheck option of "Use secure download method for HTTP"

It will solve above error!!
