You need to setPath properly for binary file. On windows, I prefer \\ instead od /, Can you please try this?-

public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Selenium\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.co.in");
