I know how to assign a single role for a user. But coming to the multiple roles for a user is not working...Is wordpress gives this facility or not.Thanks in advance.

Yes, WordPress allows this. You can do it in your code:

    $someone = new WP_User( $user_id );
    $someone->add_role( 'role-1' );
    $someone->add_role( 'role-2' );

You can also use a plugin such as Multiple Roles. The plugin will transform the select dropdown into checkboxes.
