I was working to create skeletal extension module through civix but unfortunately I am getting this exception "Failed to locate CMS. Please call civix from somewhere under the CMS root."

Maybe the standard wrong suggestion :-) but did you try the generate:module whilst in a subfolder of your website root?

The problem is resolved now, actually when I called civix from var/www/drupal I was getting this exception. Then after installing buildkit and setup of drupal-demo site, I again called civix but this time under the drupal-demo CMS root dir (viz. /opt/buildkit/build/dmaster/sites/all/modules). Now I am successfully able to generate a skeletal extension module.
civix, make sure tocdinto that folder. If that doesn't work, then update the question to include details about your directory structure and environment. If you use symlinks, hardlinks, or other filesystem tricks, change the file structure to be simpler.
