Hello @chandra kumar 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Are you working with a Team Managed project or a Company Managed project? That information will show at the bottom of the navigation panel on the left.

In the Jira system only one type of issue is allowed that is handled like like an Epic.

If you are working with a Company Managed project and the Epic issue is not present, then the system's default Epic issue type needs to be added to the Issue Type Scheme for that project. 

If you are working with a Team Managed project and the Epic issue type is not already available in the project then you add it by going to Project Settings (1), then select Issues (2). Then click +Add Issue Type (3). Then select the Epic issue type (4). And finally click Add (5).
