Kiran, please update your location. India is a big country and maintaining humidity inside tank depends on your location.

One very easy humidifier that I suggested to Vijendra also, is simply a small bubbling airstone kept in a bowl of water, connected to an airpump. This keeps throwing tiny droplets of water in the air, with each bubble that comes to the surface of the water from the airstone and promptly bursts.... Sometimes the bubbling can be controlled by using different shapes of airstones (or the thin airstone that is like a long ruler, sometimes they are even flexible). Or by increasing the speed of the air production in the airpump (mine has two settings).

Let us know what you did. You should also take a picture for us to be able to advise you better.
