Hemant,
Is it possible to issue the magazine without CDs (or only one CD) or something like that for less, say, around Rs. 35-40? I know of many people who wouldn't buy magazines because they're too expensive at Rs. 80-100. As a college student with pocket money of barely Rs. 250 per month its rarely possible to buy a Rs. 100 magazine. At Rs. 40 one may still think about it.
You could target schools/colleges with discounted prices for students. This would help promote not only your magazine but also GNU/Linux in a big way.
