First-generation iPads cannot be upgraded past iOS 5.1.1 due to hardware limitations. Look on the back for the model number. 1Gen iPads that are WiFi only are model A1219; those with both WiFi and cellular capabilities are model A1337. If yours is newer it can run the latest version of iOS.

Thanks. I have model number A1337. How do I go about updating to IOS9 as the software update page is silent on this ?

As Allan already mentiones, the first generation iPad cannot run any version of iOS higher than 5.1.1. If you want iOS 9 you need to purchase a newer iPad. Your A1337 is an original model iPad so cannot be updated to iOS 9
