You must escape the back slashes by prefixing them with another back slash:

C#

string str ="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\\Program Files\\Atharv.accdb;Persist Security Info=False;";

Just add @ before the connection string like :

C#

string str =@"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Program Files\Atharv.accdb;Persist Security Info=False;";
