Hey @ANJANAGHULE, thanks for reporting. This problem is usually caused by installing Numpy, or a package that depends on it, with pip in a conda environment. Since pip and conda packages are binary incompatible, they can't be mixed in the same environment.

To solve it, I'm afraid you'll have to remove and reinstall Anaconda. To properly do that, please follow the instructions in the second part of our video about that (the first part describes why you can't mix pip and conda packages).
