Hi Ajitkumar,
The Trigger scenario you mentioned can only work on before update and delete Trtigger Functionality cannot work on account insertion as contact can only be created when there is account. :)

Other functionality can be performed please find below:-

trigger FetchContactOnAccountDescription on Account (before update,before Delete) {
    list<id> lstaccid= new list<id>();
    string glue = '';
    map<id,string> mapcontact = new map<id,string>();
  
        if(Trigger.isBefore){
              if(Trigger.isUpdate || Trigger.isDelete){
            For(Account acc:Trigger.new){
                lstaccid.add(acc.id);                
            }
            
            
            if(lstaccid.size()>0){
                for(Contact con:[Select id,name,Accountid from contact where Accountid IN :lstaccid]){
                    mapcontact.put(con.Accountid, con.Name);    
                }
            }
            
            if(mapcontact.size() != null){
                
                for(Account acc:trigger.new){
                    if(mapcontact.containsKey(acc.id)){
                        acc.Description += glue + mapcontact.get(acc.id);
                        glue=';';
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

It is working as expected :)

By the above code all Contact names are not updated. Null and 1st Contact name is added twice, without comma seperation.
