I have tried setting an environment variable to <C:\Users\uanurag\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3\envs\Python27\lib\site-packages\nupic> and it didn't help.

I'm sorry, but we do not support Anaconda, and we only build in CI on Windows 10. I'm afraid we can't help you out here.

@anuragupadhyaya By the way, this forum post might help you.
