Do your other pages work? Did you point apache to laravel_root/public directory, not just to laravel_root? — Alexey Mezenin, Mar 09 '16 at 07:09
@DeepKakkar i have updated my htaccess with the code showing on the URL mentioned in your comment. But still i am getting the same error. — Anoop T U, Mar 09 '16 at 07:12
@AlexeyMezenin. You are right. I didn't. I can access the page on the URL my-website/public/contact. — Anoop T U, Mar 09 '16 at 07:13

Set your home directory to the public to make things work.

Can you help me to do this? to set home directory to public – Anoop T U Mar 09 '16 at 07:20
It depends on what web server do you use: apache/nginx, or you use WAMP, MAMP, OpenServer, Homestead etc. – Alexey Mezenin Mar 09 '16 at 07:24
I found the solution here--> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19923091/avoid-public-folder-of-laravel-and-open-directly-the-root-in-web-server. I think this will be helpful for beginners like me. Thanks All – Anoop T U Mar 09 '16 at 07:25
That solution works, but you're risking to get a lot of problems like strange 404/500 errors during development, especially if you're newbie who using tutorials to learn. I think the only good solution for newbies is to use standard Laravel approach to setup environment. – Alexey Mezenin Mar 09 '16 at 07:29
Do you have any standard solution to suggest for this issue? – Anoop T U Mar 09 '16 at 07:33
The only good way is to setup your root directory to a `public`. Please click link you posted above and look at another answer by `fideloper` (who has just 6 upvotes). That's the standard solution. – Alexey Mezenin Mar 09 '16 at 07:37

Exchange the route. like this:
Route::get('contact','WelcomeController@contact');
Route::get('/','WelcomeController@index');
