No due to the shape of the earth the force of gravity is maximum near the equator and least near poles

No. this is because, the shape of earth is not the same everywhere. The shape of the earth kind of like egg shaped, so the value of g is more at the poles than at the equator.
Also, the rotation of the Earth also influences the value of g. The value of g due to rotation (g₀) at a particular angle θ from the centre is given as:
g₀ = g - ω²Rcos²θ
where R is the radius of the Earth
g₀ is the new value for acceleration due to gravity
g is the original value of acceleration due to gravity (taken as 9.8 m/s²)
ω is the angular velocity of the earth (in rad/hr.)
