When I tried this for Protobuf Compilation by cmd
protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.
It shows me
'protoc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
How to fix this ??

It is likely that you had the same problem I had. Are you following the TensorFlow 2 Object Detection API tutorial?
At some point you go to the protoc release pages and see downloads such as "protobuf-all-3.17.0.zip" and "protoc-3.17.0-win64.zip" (BIG difference). Make sure you download "protoc" and not "protobuf-all".
Make sure you can find "protoc.exe" in the folder you extract. Example, in my computer I have:
C:\Program Files\Google Protobuf\bin\protoc.exe
"protoc.exe" is the compiler.
If anyone reading this is totally lost, see if you can find your c++ compiler. For me it is
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.24.28314\bin\Hostx64\x64\cl.exe
and the compiler is called "cl.exe"
