The device you're looking for is called a Graphics Tablet. There may be
cheaper devices  / second hand devices available within your budget but I'd
say the ones from 'wacom' are the sought after value-for-money deal (will
cost you about Rs.2000/- at a min, IIRC). I have a "Wacom Bamboo" model
tablet - and I use it extensively with gimp for hobby graphics work.

"gromit" is a useful screen-pointing / drawing utility that may also be
very handy for rough-work / demo-like uses.
