Path is not matching

I have started learning Django and I was watching this lecture (till starting 20 minutes) and following the instructions but I am getting the error as : 

 Page not found (404)  
 Request Method:    GET
 Request URL:   http://127.0.0.1:8000/hello

 Using the URLconf defined in lecture3.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

 admin/

 The current path, hello, didn't match any of these.

 You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. 
 Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.

After running 

python3 manage.py runserver

My settings.py file in "lecture3" app is : 

 # Application definition

 INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'hello',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
   'django.contrib.staticfiles',
 ]

and some other content.

views.py file in "hello" app is : 

 from django.http import HttpResponse
 from django.shortcuts import render

 # Create your views here.
 def index(request):
     return HttpResponse("Hello World!")

urls.py file in "hello" app is : 

 from django.urls import path

 from . import views

 urlpatterns=[
     path("",views.index, name="index")
 ]

urls.py file in "lecture3" app is : 

    from django.contrib import admin    
    from django.urls import include, path       

    urlpatterns = [
       path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
       path('/hello/', include('hello.urls'))
    ]

I have checked similar questions here but my problem was not resolved. Can anyone please tell why I am getting this error. Any help would be appreciated.

Given:

...
   path('/hello/', include('hello.urls'))
...

Remove the first slash from the path:

...
   path('hello/', include('hello.urls'))
...

Then you need to access it with a trailing slash / as follows http://127.0.0.1:8000/hello/

Or with Django's conventions, use APPEND_SLASH=True in your settings.py so accessing http://127.0.0.1:8000/hello will redirect to http://127.0.0.1:8000/hello/
