Yes, you need to configure additional route protocols (need to check ur device) but what is the point of having simultaneous IGP protocols?

do you mean running rip and ospf in same router is useless?

I did not mean that but in one network if you maintain three ways of routing table then what is the problem you are going to solve?

we can get more than one path to a destination
through this we can do load balancing
and also use this path when the best path gets distorted
