If we place a conductor inside of uniform external electric field then opposite charges will get induced on the both sides of conductor.
What if we connect two earth wire to each side, will continuous current will flow through the conductor?
As from the positive charge induced side will take electron from ground and negative charge induced side will eject electron so will a continuous flow of current be seen in this case?

At the point where the conductor begins on the left to where it ends on the right, the electric field inside the conductor is zero (a very good conductor). If the conductor isn't such a great conductor then there will be a small open circuit potential to be see but, if you try and short those sides out (via earth or just another conductor), that external short then causes the E-field insider to become close to zero.
You cannot transfer energy from a static electric field this way.
