For multiple select you could do something like this

<%= f.select(:channel_category, [['Sports', 'sports'],
                                 ['Entertainment', 'entertainment'],
                                 ['Music', 'music']
                                ],{ :prompt => "Please select"},
                                { :multiple => true, :size => 3 }) %>

Edit:

then for channels you'll also need multiple select

<%= f.select(:channels, [['Channel1', 'ch1'],
                                 ['Channel1', 'ch2'],
                                 ['Channel1', 'ch3']
                                ],{ :prompt => "Please select"},
                                { :multiple => true, :size => 3 }) %>

And if you need channels after selecting channel_categories maybe you could try with conditional validations.

I had similar problem so I solved it with conditional validations.

I do not get you why I need nested form.

I am creating a new Plan in which I can select multiple channel categories as Sports, Entertainment, Music etc. and whichever are selected on that basis I want to select multiple channels based on above selected channel categories.

This is I have done but on selecting channel category I want channels of that channel category to be come in another drop-down and I can select multiple channels in that second drop-down.
