Hi Afnan,
Its not necessary to put your custom module addons in same folder where odoo addons is places.
wherever your custom addons is placed you just mention that path in addons path.
now coming on why you are not able to see your module in odoo module list.
for that you have to do "Update Module List"
after then you will able to see your module in odoo local module list.
