Hi VANAPARTHI SRIKANTH,

a. You can use salesforce workflow to send an email alert.(Configuration approach)

1.Create workflow with Evaluate the rule when a record  whne "created, and every time it’s edited(check this)"
2.Rule Criteria=Formula evaluates to true
3. Use function as ISCHANGED(picklist field name)
