In case of large scale plantation, the cost comes down due considerably due to economies of scale, selection of plants and their age/size.
With your prayers and support, Inshallah our next such project would be on a larger scale.
you can get sapling from forest nurseries @ Rs 2/- per sapling.
btw project cost seems too high as compared to total number of trees.
