Hi
Since your name is wrongly mentioned in your educational records it is advisable to correct your name first preferably by filing a declaration suit in the city civil court and directing the school/ university to correct the name as Gurupada shrinviasa Bhat. After correcting the records you can then swear to an Affidavit bf4 a notary that your maiden name was Gurupada Shrinivasa Bhat and you intend to change your name as Gurupad Bhat and thereafter give a publication in 2 newspaper one in Engilish and other in the vernacular language intimating the general public that henceforth you name has changed from Gurupada Shrinivasa Bhat to Gurupad Bhat.
