Try the node reference module for hierarchical content.

 

Giving user s permissions to edit own content could be configured through
access control.

Thanks Shyamala...

Right now I am giving time to the learning curve required by the Views
module. Views and CCK look like essential for any web portal with Drupal.
According to the knowledge I have, I can figure out that I can easily fetch
5 top stories from the news and events content types. 

Organic Groups module looks awesome from managing groups along with
permissions. 

Now what I am really looking here is a kind of module that helps me in
creation of hierarchical content for each user. e.g. a user creates four
content nodes, then each node could have 3 child nodes each. That node could
be of any type. Say Video, Gallery Pages, Class Notes, Resume etc.
Permissions over each such content created by user is very important. As for
example a student should not be able to edit the content created by other
student or a society-head of the college.

Also I am looking for a way there so that I could list each user's space
with a URL like "http://collegedomain/studentpages/studentname".

Hi,

 The below modules should help.

 Organic Groups: http://drupal.org/project/og

Enable users to create and manage their own 'groups'. Each group can have
subscribers, and maintains a group home page where subscribers communicate
amongst themselves. They do so by posting the usual node types: blog, story,
page, etc. A block is shown on the group home page which facilitates these
posts. The block also provides summary information about the group.

Groups may be selective or not. Selective groups require approval in order
to become a member, or even invitation -only groups. There are lots of
preferences to configure groups as you need.

Groups get their own theme, language, taxonomy, and so on. Integrates well
and depends upon Views module

Views: http://drupal.org/project/views

This tool is essentially a smart query builder that, given enough
information, can build the proper query, execute it, and display the
results. It has four modes, plus a special mode, and provides an impressive
amount of functionality from these modes.

 and CCK: http://drupal.org/project/cck

 CCK, will help us create custom node types.
