Text rending is sone using drawString method in Graphics class as:
void drawString( String str, int i, int j)
this draws the string str with i,j as the coordinates of the baseline of the first character in the string.
the above method can be used in conjunction with the getGraphics() method of the component class to solve your problem.

Put the code that shweta showed in the paint() method of the Panel ( you would probably want to sub-class Panel and make a MyPanel class that draws the string).

class MyPanel{
   public void paint(Graphics g){
      String str = "whatever String";
      // i and j are the (x,y) coordinates of the baseline for the leftmost character of the String
      void drawString( String str, int i, int j);
   }
}
