Kiran should be your 1st name
VENUGOPAL should be your last name ( your family name) or other way around.

You have at least 2 name like Kiran VENUGOPAL, then one of them is your 1st, the other being the last name.
i have contacted the ATAS authority....they told me to put a "-" in the place of family name....

No need to put - .

Kiran is your 1st name

Venugopal is your last/family name. Once you come to the Western World(Europe, Australia, USA, etc), you have to know and use this every time.
