I only want to keep the page number at the bottom and nothing header.But using the following commands I am still getting chapter name and section in the header

\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand\headrulewidth{0pt}
\lhead{}\chead{}\rhead{}
\cfoot{\vspace*{1.5\baselineskip}\thepage}

\pagestyle{plain} should take care of that. For single pages \thispagestyle{plain} http://www.ctex.org/documents/packages/layout/fancyhdr.pdf

The fancyhdr doc explains the problem.

Some LATEX commands, like \chapter, use the \thispagestyle command to automatically switch to the plain page style, thus ignoring the page style currently in effect. To customize even such pages you must redefine the plain pagestyle.

And it suggests

\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields
\fancyfoot[C]{\bfseries \thepage} % except the center
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}}
