Hello,
File an application for correction in the birth certificate in the concerned municipal office.
Get in touch with some local advocate.
Also, it will be very difficult to get the same corrected now due to a delay of almost 50 years.

Your birth certificate would not be changed after lapse of 48 years
You would need court orders to reflect full name of your parents in BC
Sir since the certificate.is issued long back the same would be not corrected at instance but then also you can try file an application for correction with the muncipal authroity.
You need to send the concerned authorities a notice to change the name in records if they refuse you need to file a suit for declaration in the jurisdiction court ie Chennai and once decree is passed from court you can submit it to concerned authorities and get your details changed
It can be changed by an appropriate application to the concerned municipal corporation addressed to the registrar of births and deaths. The application shall be accompanied by appropriate enclosures supporting your claim of change in details. Apart from this you need to do certain things such as an affidavit on 100 rupee stamp paper attested by class I magistrate, copies of change in details advertisement published in two local newspapers. It is advisable to contact a lawyer for the affidavit and the application.
Hi,
You may apply to the registrar for the correction of names but it is suggested that there would be no much effect of the incomplete name on the birth certificate issued by municipality or hospital. Because there is custom that the child's name is not decided at the time of the birth of the child and the same is done later. Even, if the intended change/correction is not done, you may prepare an affidavit signed by first class magistrate.
