The below given example shows how to access Models Data from Controller. 

Create new project, add Context class 'NewDatabase.cs' and Model class 'Country.cs'

NewDatabase.cs

Using System;

Using System.Collections.Generic;

Using System.Linq;

Using System.Web;

Using System.Data.Entity;

Namespace MvcApplication2.Models

{

    Public class NewDatabase:DbContext

    {

        Public DbSet<country>Country { get; set; }      

    }

}

Country.cs

Using System;

Using System.Collections.Generic;

Using System.Linq;

Using System.Text;

Using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

Namespace MvcApplication2.Models

{

    Public class Country

    {

        [Key]

        Public virtual int country_id {get; set ;}

        [Required]

        Public virtual string country name {get; set ;}

    }

}

Add a Controller 'CountryController'

Country Controller.cs

Using System;

Using System.Collections.Generic;

Using System.Linq;

Using System.Web;

Using System.Web.Mvc;

Using MvcApplication2.Models; 

Namespace MvcApplication2.Controllers

{

    Public class Country Controller: Controller

    {

        //

        // GET: /Country/

        NewDatabase db = new NewDatabase ();

        Public ActionResult Index ()

        {   

            //Shows Country details

            Var model = db.Country;

            Return View (model);

        } 

        Public ActionResult AddCountry ()

        { 

            Return View ();

        }

        [Http Post]

        Public ActionResult AddCountry (Country model)

        {

            // Attempt to add the country name

            db.Country.Add (model);

            db.SaveChanges ();  

            Return View (model);

        } 

    }

}
