    Sounds as if you should use \part and \chapter instead of \chapter and \section. And that you should learn how to correctly setup page styles.

  • @DINESHMITTAL: You want to 'forget' the section page for pagenumbering, i.e, say page 5, \section{something} , next page is 6 then, not 7?

  • @DINESHMITTAL I think you have to add \addtocounter{page}{-1} in your chapter page, together with \thispagestyle{empty}.

I tried with the commands I wrote in the comments and it worked:

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{setspace}

\begin{document}

\setcounter{page}{34}
End of first chapter

\begin{center}
\setstretch{2}
\chapter{chapter title here} % Write in your own chapter title
\thispagestyle{empty} % Remove page number
\addtocounter{page}{-1} % Substract 1 from page number
\label{Chapter2}
\lhead{Chapter 2. \emph{chapter title here}} % Write in your own chapter title to set the page header
\end{center}
\clearpage
\section{Introduction}
In this chapter we have...

\end{document}

You could use this code in your thesis file and see if it works fine.
