If a file has the extension .m, then I assume you are trying to load a package into your notebook. This can be achieved by calling the package (say called PackageName.m) into your own notebook by doing the following:
You can type into your opening like
<<PackageName`, which uses the backtick symbol`. It is probably at the left hand side of your keyboard.Alternatively, this is a shortcut for the MMA function
Get, given in the documentation here. The first example has the above notation I was talking about. ThenGet["PackageName.m"]would work.
Here is a screenshot so you can see the backtick in action.

$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Thank you so much for your kind response. Are you talking about this symbol '' ~ ''. I just type "<<PackageName(~)" in the notebook, but it does not work. I also type ''<<~'', it also does not work. Sorry to say, I am facing difficulty to learn from the example.

I have added a screenshot. You are on the right key I think, but instead you have held-down shift instead. It's a tricky key to type, but my screenshot should help you.

It's tricky but: enclose any code that has backticks in double backticks. I did this for your answer.

Now, I followed your suggestions and type. But, I found the error. I am pasting here both input and output which I got. In[8]:= <<PackageName` Get["PackageName.m"] During evaluation of In[8]:= Get::noopen: Cannot open PackageName`. Out[8]= $Failed During evaluation of In[8]:= Get::noopen: Cannot open PackageName.m. Out[9]= $Failed
