<?php

    session_start();
    require('fpdf/fpdf.php');

    //Connect to your database

    $r1=$_SESSION['sem1'];

    $con=mysql_connect('localhost','root','');

    if(!$con)
    {
    die('Unable to connect'.mysql_error());
    }
    mysql_select_db('hostel',$con);

    $result=mysql_query("SELECT r.hosteladmissionno,
           r.student_name,
           r.semester,
           r.blockname
           r.branch,
           m.billmonth,m.billyear ,
           (s.days_mess*perdayrate) AS mess_charges,
           m.perdayrate,
           s.days_mess,s.nv_tokens
           FROM registration r,student_month s,messexp m
           WHERE  s.hosteladmissionno = r.hosteladmissionno 
           AND r.mess_type=m.messtype
           AND m.billmonth = 'March' AND m.billyear= '2014'");
         $number_of_products = mysql_numrows($result);

Why dont you use the standard "header()" extend function of FPDF ? http://fpdf.org/en/doc/header.htm

Add this to your code between line $Y_Table_Position = 46 and line $pdf->Cell(15,50,'Anna University Hostels');, It will display "Semester,Month,Year" color gray in the right top of your page (change Semester,Month,Year with their real values).

    //Fields Name position
    $Y_Fields_Name_position = 40;
    //Table position, under Fields Name
    $Y_Table_Position = 46;
// ABOVE IS YOUR ORIGINAL CODE, ADD The FOLOWING LINES

    $pdf->SetXY(160,0);
    $pdf->SetFont('Times','B',6);
    $pdf->SetTextColor('139','140','142');
    $pdf->Cell(5,15,'Semester,Month,Year',0,0,'L');

    $pdf->SetTextColor('0','0','0');
    $pdf->SetXY(16,8);

// CONTINUE WITH ORIGINAL CODE
    $pdf->Cell(15,50,'Anna University Hostels');
    //First create each Field Name
    //Gray color filling each Field Name box
    $pdf->SetFillColor(232,232,232);

As you see I go to X=160, Y=0 and create a new Cell with the desired text, custom font and color, after that, I change the color to black (beacause my default font color is white) and go to X=16,Y=8 so your "Anna University Hostels" is printed in the same position. After that you're table will be printed as before.

Hope I understad your question, and this is what you're looking for. (if not leave a comment :) )
