Make an affidavit changing the name and getting it notarized, get it published in the Gazette and get the copy of the notification of gazette for your personal purpose and the name deemed to be changed.

It is usually very difficult to change the name of the Birth Certificate. It is better if you use the shorter version of the name in all his school forms and in his 10th class certificate.

You might not need to change the name in the Birth Certificate as the Birth Certificate with the longer name shall be valid at almost all places. You can have the other documents such as PAN Card and Passport in the shorter name.
