Hi @Muhammad_Moiz, it looks like the `init-script` in your `daml.yaml` section points to `Setup:initialize` but you don’t have a script called `initialize` in a module called `Setup`.
You can either remove the `init-script` field (of course then your ledger will be empty after calling `daml start`) or you can fix it to point to a script that actually exists.
