No, not XSLT (xsl: namespace) because that happens before FOP starts 
working.  FOP determines page breaks after the XSLT transformations are 
complete.

As for XSL-FO (fo: namespace)...

Again, your xsl:for-each has dissolved and disappeared before FOP ever 
activates.

If the data is constant ("Hi!  Welcome to India!") then just place it in 
the fo:static-content with region xsl-region-start.

If the data is dynamic and based on the contents of the page (for 
example, the first and last words on the page of a glossary or 
dictionary) then the fo:marker and fo:retrieve-marker is what you will 
need.  Google on those two fo's for countless examples.

If you would like running subtotals of financial data, Joerg gave a 
solution[1] a while back.
