      Hi Naveen,

      Here is an example with countries and states. First, define your Visulforce Page with the picklists.
      You can see that it uses a custom controller and an event "onchange" on country list to change the content of the states list when you select a country.

      Here is the code:

      <apex:page controller="ctlDepPickLst">
      <apex:form >
      <apex:pageBlock>
      <apex:pageBlockSection columns="2">
      <apex:pageblockSectionItem>
      <apex:outputLabel value="Country"/>
      </apex:pageblockSectionItem>
      <apex:pageblockSectionItem>
      <apex:selectList size="1" value="{!country}">
      <apex:selectOptions value="{!countries}"/>
      <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" reRender="a"/>
      </apex:selectList>
      </apex:pageblockSectionItem>
      <apex:pageblockSectionItem>
      <apex:outputLabel value="State"/>
      </apex:pageblockSectionItem>
      <apex:pageblockSectionItem>
      <apex:selectList size="1" value="{!state}" id="a">
      <apex:selectOptions value="{!states}"/>
      </apex:selectList>
      </apex:pageblockSectionItem>
      </apex:pageBlockSection>
      </apex:pageBlock>
      </apex:form>
      </apex:page>

      Here is the custom controller:

      public class ctlDepPickLst {
      public String country {get;set;}
      public String state {get;set;}

      public List<SelectOption> getCountries()
      {
      List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
      options.add(new SelectOption('None','--- Select ---'));
      options.add(new SelectOption('US','United States'));
      options.add(new SelectOption('IN','India'));
      return options;
      }

      public List<SelectOption> getStates()
      {
      List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
      if(country == 'US')
      {
      options.add(new SelectOption('CO','Colorado'));
      options.add(new SelectOption('NE','Nevada'));
      options.add(new SelectOption('TE','Texas'));
      }
      else if(country == 'IN')
      {
      options.add(new SelectOption('BI','Bihar'));
      options.add(new SelectOption('KE','Kerala'));
      options.add(new SelectOption('MA','Manipur'));
      }
      else
      {
      options.add(new SelectOption('None','--- Select ---'));
      }
      return options;
      }
      }

      Hope this helps.
