I'm from India as well (got several schengen visas over the years). You haven't mentioned your age. If for e.g. you're 25 and unemployed, the Embassy might feel there is a chance of you staying back in the Schengen area, since you have no job to come back to.

The Schengen countries try to welcome genuine tourists and refuse entry to illegal immigrants. They cannot know what a person will do in the future, so they must go by the documents.
- You will need both money for the trip and for your stay in the Schengen area. I think Slovenia wants to see €70/day, which adds up to quite a sum over a few days. Do you have that money, in addition to your ticket?
- If your girlfriend plans to give you housing and food then you'll need less money, but explaining this would make it even harder for you to convince the visa authorities that you will leave again.
- Even if your father pays for your trip, you will have to document your financial circumstances as well as his. Did you?
Being unemployed does not lead to an automatic refusal. But it means that the rest of your application has to look good.
My guess is that the initial decision is correct according to the documents, and that an appeal will not help. In the EU it is entirely normal that official forms contain information how to appeal them, that does not mean an appeal is likely to work.
Follow-Up: When someone else pays for your trip, your account still has to show a stable lifestyle with regular income exceeding regular expenses. Even if that income is money from your parents (which is not uncommon for young people). If the money for the trip is a gift to you, you should be able to use it as you please, so it helps if you have it.
