model.save() is not a function

I am new to ember.js, I am trying to save the model from another contoller where i have am able to get all the information of the model. Whenever i try to save the model using the code below

saveModel: function(model) {
  model.save();
},

I am getting this error

Uncaught TypeError: model.save is not a function

Any idea how to solve this error?

Model information is getting passed from components using this.sendaction().
