To change your name legally in Dantewada, you follow three steps. A notarised affidavit on stamp paper, a public notice in two newspapers, one Hindi and one English, and then a Gazette notification. The state Gazette office is at Civil Lines in Raipur, about 400 kilometres away, while the Central Gazette is filed in Delhi and accepted across India. We handle every step online.
For Many Families, the School Register Is the Oldest Record of the Name
In much of this district there was no birth certificate when a child was born. The first time the name was written down at all was at school admission, by a teacher who heard it spoken in Halbi or Gondi and wrote it in Hindi as best he could. Years later an Aadhaar was made, sometimes by a different person hearing the same name, and the two spellings do not match. Neither the teacher nor the family did anything wrong. It is simply how the record began.
Because that school entry is usually the earliest written proof a person has, it matters a great deal in a name change file. We treat it as the starting point of the chain, name it in the affidavit along with every later version, and declare plainly that all of them belong to one person. Where the difference is small an affidavit settles it. Where it repeats across the school record, the ration card and the Aadhaar, a Gazette notification closes it permanently.
The Central Gazette Process for a Name Change in Dantewada
This is the route accepted everywhere in India and abroad. Here is exactly what happens at each step.
Prepare and Notarise the Affidavit
A sworn declaration on non-judicial stamp paper, signed with witnesses and attested by a Notary Public or First Class Magistrate in Dantewada.
Publish in Hindi and English Newspapers
One Hindi daily and one English daily, carrying exactly the same wording as your affidavit.
File With the Department of Publication
The complete file goes to the Controller of Publications, Civil Lines, Delhi, and your notice appears in Part IV of the Gazette of India.

What Goes Into Your Gazette File
This District Was Divided Twice, in 2007 and Again in 2012
Dantewada became a district in 1998. Bijapur was carved out of it in 2007 and Sukma in 2012. So a great many people who live in Bijapur or Sukma today hold older papers that name Dantewada, because that is what the district was called when those documents were issued. The place did not move. Only the boundary did.
A verification officer comparing an old certificate with a new Aadhaar sees two different districts and asks. The affidavit has to say plainly that the village is the same and the district was reorganised in a given year. We check which district your village falls in today before drafting anything, so the wording is right the first time.
Chhattisgarh State Gazette or Central Gazette for Dantewada?
Both are valid. Here is the honest difference, so you pick the right one the first time.
| Point | Chhattisgarh State Gazette | Central Gazette of India |
|---|---|---|
| Handled by | Directorate of Printing and Stationery, Civil Lines, Raipur | Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi |
| Distance from Dantewada | About 400 kilometres to Raipur | Filed by post, so distance does not matter |
| Mining and central public sector records | Meant for state department records | The route central service records work with |
| Jobs or study outside the state | Often questioned elsewhere | Accepted in every state without a second look |
| Where it is accepted | Mainly within Chhattisgarh | Every state, and by all Government and private bodies in India |
| Passport and going abroad | Usually not accepted for visa and attestation | The proof passport offices and embassies look for |
| Government fee | As set by the state department | Rs 1,100 adult, Rs 1,700 minor |
| Digital copy | Published through the state department | Downloadable e-Gazette, same legal weight |
Mine Townships and the First Job Outside
The iron ore complexes at Kirandul and Bacheli are run by a central public sector company, and their townships have their own schools, hospitals and quarters. For an employee, a name change has to be entered in the service record along with the dependant entries, which means a name change deed in the format prescribed under the Ministry of Home Affairs memorandum of 1987, submitted with the Gazette notification. Since the record is central, the Central Gazette is what the establishment section expects.
There is a second group this matters to. Young people from this district now take jobs in the rural business process centres and in companies outside Bastar, and every one of those employers runs a background check. A difference between the school certificate and the Aadhaar, which nobody minded at home, becomes a joining delay. Fixing it before the first offer letter is far easier than during it.
A Gazette Does Not Correct a Tribe Certificate
Almost every family in this district holds a Scheduled Tribe certificate, and it decides school admission, scholarship, a reserved post and land rights. A spelling error on it stops all of them, which is why the wrong service gets sold here more than anywhere else.
A Scheduled Tribe or Scheduled Caste certificate is corrected by the authority that issued it, at the tehsil or Sub Divisional Office, with an application and supporting proof. A Gazette notification does not correct it and is not required for it. Where a Gazette genuinely helps is when your own name differs across identity documents, because it settles that once and every certificate issued afterwards carries the corrected name.
