Network Protocol  A Network Protocol defines rules and conventions for communication between network devices. Protocols for computer networking all generally use packet switching techniques to send and receive messages in the form of packets.    Need of Protocols in Computer Networks  Network protocols include mechanisms for devices to identify and make connections with each other, as well as formatting rules that specify how data is packaged into messages sent and received. Some protocols also support message acknowledgement and data compression designed for reliable and/or high-performance network communication. Hundreds of different computer network protocols have been developed each designed for specific purposes and environments.  You need protocols in computer networks because computer networks consist of devices and software made by many different vendors. The only way to ensure compatibility among them all is to have common documents (i.e. The protocol specifications) that describe the mechanics and formats of all the data exchanged over the network.    A network protocol defines rules and conventions for communication between network devices.  Network protocols include mechanisms for devices to identify and make connections with each other, as well as formatting rules that specify how data is packaged into messages sent and received.

These
  are basically the precisely defined protocols which has made internet
  operational throughout the world. Without protocols we can't even think of
  data transfer from one node to another.

You, that is right. Since we need to communicate we need protocols. Now, the question is what is a network
protocol?  A network protocol defines rules and conventions for communication between network devices.

  no computer can work without a protocol. You have to use protocols if you
  want to connect one or more computers.

In the most basic form, the purpose of a network protocol is to allow communication between computers. This may be communication across a LAN or WAN.
