If you always want the current date as the value for the CreationDate column you could use a default on the table and modify your proc to just take @mediumnamn as parameter. Or you could modify it to this:

alter procedure insertmediumproc @MediumName varchar(50)
as begin
insert into medium (MediumName, CreationDate) values (@MediumName,getdate())
end

That way you don't have to send the date as a parameter.

You forgot the quotes around Nepali

exec insertmediumproc 'Nepali', getdate()

And your insert statement should be

insert into medium (MediumName, CreationDate) 
values (@MediumName, @CreationDate)

And if you only need a date then you can change the parameter type from datetime to date

You have a syntax error - you are not passing in a proper VARCHAR - you need to quote the value:

exec insertmediumproc 'Nepali',getdate()
