Hi Packiarajan,
thanks for reaching out!
The read.csv function reads a file into a data frame object. The read_csv function reads the file into a tibble object. The tibble objects have some advantages over regular data frames, such as the fact that they load faster and allow non-standard naming of columns.
Nevertheless, both are valid ways to read a csv in R, so you're welcome to use either of the two functions.

Best,
