The first problem is the program is attempting to change data that is stored in read-only memory. String literals can't be changed. You can correct that by storing the string in read-write memory like this:

char data[]="ALOK KUMAR   ASHISH KUMAR   ANKUSH

After that you will want to set pointer t = data.
