How can date and time of execution of a program be loaded at middle of a program. Every time I use exec date command it seems to ignore everything beneath it.

From help exec:

exec: exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [arguments ...]] [redirection ...] Replace the shell with the given command.

You don't want to replace the current shell (which will prevent script execution from reaching any subsequent commands): just use date

echo "HELLO"
date
echo "HI"
