I got the answer.Thanks for the idea. Below is the code which works fine for me.

    SPWeb mySite = SPContext.Current.Web;

    SPListItemCollection listItems = mySite.Lists["myList"].Items;

    SPListItem item = listItems.Add();

    string[] UsersSeperated = pplEditor.CommaSeparatedAccounts.Split(',');

    SPFieldUserValueCollection UserCollection = new SPFieldUserValueCollection();

    foreach (string UserSeperated in UsersSeperated)

       {

    mySite.EnsureUser(UserSeperated);

    SPUser User = mySite.SiteUsers[UserSeperated];

    SPFieldUserValue UserName = new SPFieldUserValue(mySite, User.ID, User.LoginName);

    UserCollection.Add(UserName);

   }

item["people"] = UserCollection;

item.Update();
