Hii Anshumann 
You Can Try Validation rule Or Trigger
Or
You Can Make The Field Required By Checking The Required CheckBox  While Creating Or Editing Fields. 
Validation Rule

For Example 

1   AND(
   ISBLANK(AccountNumber),
   NOT(ISNUMBER(AccountNumber))
)

2  Address = null

3  ISPICKVAL( Type , "Industry")


Trigger


trigger AccountTrigger2 on Account (before update) {
      
    if (Trigger.IsBefore  && Trigger.IsUpdate) {
     for(account acc : trigger.new){
             If(Acc.Type == 'Industry'){
               Acc.Type.AddError('Can't Save Record);
               }
         }
    }
}

Hi Anshuman,
To make a field mandatory,
1. Make the field “Required” at the time of field creation by checking the “Required” check box.
2. Make the field Required through Page Layout by checking the “Required ” checkbook in Field Properties.
3. Validation Rules can also be used to make the field mandatory. In Error Condition Formula, one can use ISBLANK(“FieldName”);.
4. Triggers can be used to make field mandatory. Ex. If a user try to insert the record without the field which is required, we can throw the page massage specifying to fill up required fields.(Using Trigger.addError()).
5. One can make field mandatory through Visualforce.(If the field is getting referenced) by setting the required attribute in       <apex:inoutField> to True.
