Look into devIL. Generally, for these things you would want to use an external library.

Is it a good idea to use deviL library?? I want to ask something...whether the game development companies use such kind of libraries..means If I use this library, is it a good impact on them that I am using deviL library for loading a image ..???

Yes, I would assume gamedev uses external trusted libraries that has debugged code written and tested already instead of rolling their own. You could try to make one for your learning purposes, the easiest one being .bmp, but its up to you.
