Yes when we define a class to be an Abstract Class it cannot be instantiated but that does not mean an Abstract class cannot have a constructor. Each abstract class must have a concrete subclass which will implement the abstract methods of that abstract class.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
 
namespace Learn
{
    public abstract class Employee
    {
        string name;
        public string Name { get { return name; } }
        protected Employee(string name)
        {
            this.name = name;
        }
    }
    public class EmployeeName : Employee
    {
        public EmployeeName()
            : base("Harsh Kumar Srivastava")
        {
 
        }
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            EmployeeName obj = new EmployeeName();
            Console.WriteLine(obj.Name);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
