Sorry for responding late, but I think the tutorial price is on the higher
side. With 30 participants paying Rs. 1500/- for a half-a-day workshop, we
are effectively charging Rs. 90K/-day. I think that is pretty high.

Also from the past experience, not all workshop instructors are experienced
trainers, so charging that high may not be a good idea.

I suggest Rs. 1000/- per workshop with 5 seats with 50% student discount.

The current honorarium is good enough. Raising it further might attract
people for wrong reasons.
