You can execute affidavit to clarify that both Sarwan and Shravan are one and one same person

2) affidavit should be attested by notary public

You may not be able to correct the name in the mark sheet at this stage.

If this concerns you more then you can obtain a notarised affidavit stating that both the names are one and the same.

Secure this affidavit along with the marks sheet to avoid any problem in this regard in future.

Since you passed the HSC in 2003 the board will disallow the rectification now. You will require court orders to this effect. A writ petition may be filed in the High Court to seek directions to the board to rectify the error in the marksheet. Affidavit will not result in rectification of error.
