How I can start page numbering from 68 to 74 by using header and footer in latex instead of 1 to 7.

Welcome to TeX.SE! I'm not sure if this question necessarily has anything to do with the fancyhdr package, as the mechanism for specifying the page number is independent – cmhughes Dec 18 '12 at 17:16
This question doesn't seem to be about headers or footers, but rather about page numbering. – Seamus Dec 18 '12 at 17:22

you can usually set the desired page number by \setcounter{page}{68}.

there are some commands, e.g. \chapter, that may result in an increased page number (see below); in such a case, you should set the value to one less than what you want to start with.

also, be aware that \chapter will, by definition, start on an odd-numbered page, and this may result in the page number being increased. your span starts with an even-numbered page. if that is a problem, ask for more help.

You can use 

\setcounter{page}{68}

although if you're creating a 'chapter-like' file, then you probably want \includeonly as detailed in How to create individual chapter PDFs
