Can't activate child theme in Wordpress

My site is http://test.javatutorialhub.com/

I have to create a child theme for a theme called udesign.

I have done the necessary things. But when I activate the child theme I get a message saying "this theme requires parent theme".

Here is my code of functions.php

<?php

/*
* Add your own functions here. You can also copy some of the theme functions into this file. 
* Wordpress will use those functions instead of the original functions then.
*/

and here is code of style.css

/*
 Theme Name:     U-design Child Theme
 Theme URI:      http://themeforest.net/item/udesign-wordpress-theme/253220?ref=internq7
 Description:    A slick, powerful and clean theme.
 Author:         Andon
 Author URI:     http://themeforest.net/user/internq7/portfolio?ref=internq7
 Template:       u-design
 Version:        2.1.0

*/

So what have I done wrong?

Note: someone said to me that you can not activate child theme. Is it true? Please help.

very obvious thing but u-design theme in your wordpress ? and other thing is add @import url("../u-design/style.css"); - Prince Singh
What do you want to accomplish in functions.php? Also, as @wordpresser said you're missing a line in your style.css file in the child theme folder. It is not true that you cannot activate a child theme. Everything just needs to be in the right place. Look over the instructions again and make sure you didn't miss any steps. - vtamm

I have to create a child theme for a theme called udesign.

your css header tag

Template: u-design

Those two does not match, that is why it is not working (assuming from information provided)

Into the css header keyword template put always a folder name of your parent theme
