You cannot assign a value to a variable (mgr in your case) out of class methods. Put mgr = "Mr.Amol Pawal"; in your constructor or use string mgr = "Mr.Amol Pawal";.

mgr is a field it must be assigned with aconstructor or with declaration

1st way:in constructor

class HeadOffice
{
    public HeadOffice()
    {
        mgr = "Mr.Amol Pawal";
    }
    string mgr;
    public void HeadOfficeAddress()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Pune");
    }
    public void HeadOfficeManager()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Manager is:" + mgr);
    }
}

2nd way:with declaration

class HeadOffice
{
    string mgr= "Mr.Amol Pawal";;
    public void HeadOfficeAddress()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Pune");
    }
    public void HeadOfficeManager()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Manager is:" + mgr);
    }
}

if you don't know the difference between field and variable

see:What is the difference between field, variable, attribute, and property in Java POJOs?
