Can I say that, "Separation of implementation part and data part of Object in programming is Interface".

You can, but it's a bit simplistic, so I'd rather you did more research and formulated a broader over-simplification.
There are several articles here on CP that discuss interfaces.

I made it a bit Broader but i think it still needs several improvements.
Interface : Interface uses Abstraction and Encapsulation principle, structures the traits of Object but does not independently implement itself rather remains just accessible Part.

No - not really.

An interface is like a contract or promise. Any code that implements that interface must fulfil the contract or promise. This allows us to separate code into "what a thing can do" rather than "what exactly each thing is".

For example, the steering wheel and pedal lay out of a car is a type of interface. This allows you to drive any car that implements this interface without having to learn separate rules for Peugeot, Jaguar, Ford etc. This same principle applies in software.
