I have added the below line in main context of nginx.conf file.
The location of the module file :- /etc/nginx/modules/ngx_http_cache_purge_module.so

load_module modules/ngx_http_cache_purge_module.so;

#cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
user  nginx;
worker_processes  auto;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log notice;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;
load_module modules/ngx_http_cache_purge_module.so;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}
