Insert atom in Builder, send to Script Generator, select method, choose Analysis>Total Energy.

Sir,
     I am little bit confused that I have to consider that single atom in an unit cell , if yes so which unit cells i should used for Ga and N atom, or I should go with out considering any unit cell, with inserting it in builder and go for the calculation.

Usually there is no need for a cell, just make it a molecule.
