1.First of all what is the diffrence between FSF and Open source.Are both same or diffrent?

FSF is an organisation that promotes free software.

Open Source is a development model that results in better, more relevant and more secure software.

2.Who is responcible for GPL / LGPL Licencing?

Whoever releases their software under the GPL or the LGPL. There is no central authority that tracks or manages all GPL/LGPL software in the world.

3.If i want my project to get GPL / LGPL Licencing should i apply for open source or fsf people.

No, just follow the guidelines in the (L)GPL (How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs) and release your software.
