What, doesn't your team already use something? Not using a Revision Control System means wasting time instead of doing real development.
Just read the documentation on the product of interest. (Tortoise is not one of such system; this is a client part for Subversion, very good application.)

Before I joined the team , there was SVN , but according to them for some reason it does not work.
Please suggest me one and how to start with it.

"Version control" is a big topic if you want to know how it works (internally) and each system is a bit different.

As for usage, all you need to know is that it is somewhere where you put your code and it will keep track of changes for you and if you make a mistake you can revert back to some known point.

Depending on your team setup there are a lot of ways to work with version control which depend on how the team does committing and branching etc.

For my personal taste go with GIT source control with the TortoiseGIT windows extensions.
