This error is indicating that the path referred to in the screenshot above (.../AppData/Roaming/npm) is not available (doesn't exist or isn't accessible by your user).

Can you make sure there is a folder npm at this path:

c:\Users\mayank.bhadauria\appdata\roaming

If not, please create it and then try npm install node-mysql again.
