I am writing a thesis using \documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}. However, \subsubsection is not getting numbered. So on searching in TeX I got an answer to insert \setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}.

Please tell me where to insert \setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}.

Commands like this belong into the preamble, i.e. between \documentclass and \begin{document}. If you want your \subsubsections also to be appear in the table of contents you should add \setcounter{tocdepth}{3} as well. Please see How to show subsections and subsubsections in TOC? for more information about this, including a list of sectioning levels and their numbers.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}

%\usepackage{...}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Some chapter}
\section{Some section}
\subsection{Some subsection}
\subsubsection{Some subsubsection}
Text ...

\end{document}

    About the chapter header: Please post a new question using the 'Ask Question' button above, after using the search to check if that question was already asked. There should always be only one question per thread on this site. – Martin Scharrer May 21 '12 at 08:07
