Hello Master_Mind,

Could you please try this and let me know if this helps you.
Code:
cat copy_files.ksh
DIR="/tmp"
awk -vdir="$DIR"  'function copy(path){
                                        system("if [[ -f " $0 " ]]; then if [[ ! -d  " path " ]]; then mkdir "path"; echo " path " directory created successfully now.; fi; cp " $0  FS path  ";if [[ $? == 0 ]]; then echo " $0 " file copied successfully to " path ".; else echo Please check there is an issue while copying file.; fi; else echo " $0 " file not present.; fi")
                                      }
                                      {
                                        if($0 == "apple"){
                                                                copy(dir"/ap")
                                                         };
                                        if($0 == "fish") {
                                                                copy(dir"/fis")
                                                         };
                                        if($0 == "mango"){
                                                                copy(dir"/man")
                                                         }
                                      }
                  '    Input_file

EDIT: Adding a non-one liner form of system's command above for better understanding.
Code:
cat copy_files.ksh
DIR="/tmp"
awk -vdir="$DIR"  'function copy(path){
                                        system("if [[ -f " $0 " ]]; \
                                        then if [[ ! -d  " path " ]]; \
                                        then mkdir "path"; echo " path " \
                                        directory created successfully now.; \
                                        fi; cp " $0  FS path  ";if [[ $? == 0 ]]; \
                                        then echo " $0 " file copied successfully to " \
                                        path ".; else echo Please check there is an issue while copying file.; \
                                        fi; else echo " $0 " file not present.; fi")
                                      }
                                      {
                                        if($0 == "apple"){
                                                                copy(dir"/ap")
                                                         };
                                        if($0 == "fish") {

                                                         };
                                        if($0 == "mango"){
                                                                copy(dir"/man")
                                                         }
                                      }
                  '    Input_file
