Can this be achieved using drupal...? If so how....?
You can use a custom block with php if-then conditions or switches. Not sure if there is an easier way.
If you don't know how to code, it is perhaps better to make separate blocks with the menu links in them and only set their visibility in block admin pages, otherwise you can make one block with different PHP conditions to display the links as they should be per page.
If you use pathauto to create your paths for you then you could set up a system that splits your "different sections" into different URLs on the site such as:
forum/ blog/ news/
And then create blocks appropriate for those sections and in the block visibility settings set the blocks to only show on forum/* pages or blog/* pages as appropriate.
With pathauto it's possible to separate by either node type (as shown above) or by the lowest weighted taxonomy term in the lowest weighted taxonomy.
