Hi Raja,

Please find sample code below for your reference,and modify it as per your requirement which helps you to accelerate with the above requirement.

Apex Class: 
public String STEP1_INTERACTION {get {return 'Interaction';}}


    


    public String step {get; set;}

   

    public Interaction__c InteractionRequest {get; set;}

 
    private String retUrl;

 
    public InteractionController() {
        step = STEP1_INTERACTION;

   
        ID accountId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('accountId');


        
            InteractionRequest = new Interaction__c(Account__c =accountId);

            if (accountId != null)
                retUrl = '/' + accountId;
       }
    
    
    public List <SelectOption>
              generateMPOptions(List <Schema.PicklistEntry> ple) {
               List <SelectOption> options = new List <SelectOption> ();
            for( Schema.PicklistEntry f : ple) {
              options.add(new SelectOption(f.getValue(), f.getLabel()));
            } return options;
            }

    public String[] MPItems { get {
          String[] selected = new List <String>();
          List <SelectOption> sos = this.MPOptions;
              for(SelectOption s : sos) {
                    if (this.InteractionRequest.Discussion_Points__c.contains(s.getValue()))
              selected.add(s.getValue());
}
return selected;
} 

public set {
  String selectedConcat = '';
  for(String s : value) {
    if (selectedConcat == '') selectedConcat += s;
  else selectedConcat += ';' + s;
} 

        this.InteractionRequest.Discussion_Points__c = selectedConcat;
            upsert this.InteractionRequest;
            }}

 
public List <SelectOption> MPOptions {get {
  return this.generateMPOptions(Interaction__c.Discussion_Points__c.getDescribe().getPicklistValues());
} private set;}

</apex:selectCheckboxes>
</apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
