I don't remember ever seeing an 'official' reason given for this particular design decision though you can't inherit constructors in C++ or Java either.
Given that derived classes often add extra fields to those inherited from their base classes, if you could inherit constructors, then you might forget to initialize those extra fields.
Also, since every class inherits from System.Object, then it would follow that every class would inherit a parameterless constructor which might not be something you'd want when designing a particular class.

what is the reason behind that..?

No, constructors are never inherited in .NET.
