I would like to know whether are any sponsorship programs also available to support LUG.
There is no official sponsorship, or even a mechanism to allow people to do that ... some people do donate things once in a while ... like hard disk for the server, domain registration, venues and snacks at the meets ... stuff like that. So far the LUG has mostly remained an unofficial, informal body although its been around for more than five years now, IIRC.
There was talk about registering the LUG so that we can start maintaining accounts and actively use our name to conduct seminars, workshops, certification etc. Saswata had offered his help for accounting purposes. But its difficult to find people who are ready to do the leg-work. Nagarjuna has already done enough for FSF-India. One suggestion was to work under the FSF as an umbrella organisation taking care of our accounts.
