@Shashank

Relaxation time is the time interval between two successive collisions of electrons in a conductor, when current flows.

As we know 

\rho =\frac{m}{ne^2\tau }

When tepmprature decreases, collisions of electron in a conductor, when current flows decreases and thus relaxation time increases which in turn decreases the resistivity.
