No, you would not be required to give any ad in the newspaper.

You should get it corrected by following process on this page, which says:

Q: The Surname field is blank on my passport. And my full name is written in the Given Name field. Could anybody tell the process to add the surname to my passport?

A:If you find any mistake/error in the particulars printed in the passport booklet as per the application form submitted, please return the passport for necessary rectification. Any additional fees required to be paid would depend solely on Assistant Passport Officers (APOs)/ Passport Officers (POs) decision. If there is a misrepresentation of facts, then penalty could also be imposed.

However, applicants are requested to apply online which will ensure that the passports are delivered without any typographical errors since applicants have themselves fed the data.

If you have done a mistake while filling your passport application form i.e. you have filled your full name in the "Given Name" field, then you will have to apply for reissue of passport for change in personal particulars.
