Dear Sir,

Dear Arunendra,
All the above errors are due to the proxy issues in your college. You can try installing OpenFOAM from source pack , but it will take about 5/6 hours. Follow the steps on this link : http://openfoam.org/download/source.php
I hope this works out for you.

Dear Arunendra,
Please mention the version of Ubuntu you are using. Above error also states 'Network is unreachable'. So I am not sure if this is due to proxy. If at all you are behind a proxy-server, please use below syntax(in the terminal) :
export http_proxy="<username:password@Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port>/"
export https_proxy="<username:password@Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port>/"
export ftp_proxy="<username:password@Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port>/"
export socks_proxy="<username:password@Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port>/"
for example:
export http_proxy="<sachin:supersecretpassword@192.168.1.12:3128/"
export https_proxy="<sachin:supersecretpassword@192.168.1.12:3128/"
export ftp_proxy="<sachin:supersecretpassword@192.168.1.12:3128/"
export socks_proxy="<sachin:supersecretpassword@192.168.1.12:3128/"
Also you have to configure proxy for synaptic.
edit the file '/etc/apt/apt.conf' and put similar lines into it:
Acquire::http::proxy "Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port/";
Acquire::https::proxy "Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port/";
Acquire::socks::proxy "Your-proxy-server-name-or address:proxy-port/";
for example:
Acquire::https:proxy "http://192.168.1.12:3128/";
Acquire::https:proxy "http://192.168.1.12:3128/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "http://192.168.1.12:3128/";
Acquire::socks::proxy "http://192.168.1.12:3128/";
