I have to work on a database in which there are many stored-procedures & views that are referencing non-existing tables & columns. How can I get the list of invalid objects (Tables, Columns) so I can fix it accordingly?

You could use SQL Prompt from Red Gate. It has a Find Invalid Objects feature that identifies stored procedures and views (amongst others) that refer to non-existent objects and tells you why.
SQL Prompt is a commercial product — you could use its 14-day fully-functional free trial period to tidy up your database right away though.
