Can you elaborate on what you mean by "add/insert chunk data"?
Do you mean you'd like to copy another smaller image into the image in question?

If so - load image, create compatible DC, select image into DC, bitblt other image into desired position.

adding/insert chunk means like to add text/label into the image

PNG does support comment / text chunks. but, there is no mechanism in the PNG spec to tell a reader how to display that text. and you could probably define your own custom chunk type, if you have non-ASCII data to store. but again, there is nothing to tell viewers how to display your data.

what is the solution to add an extra chunk in the image?can you tell me how to define own custom chunk type ?

you can use a tool like pngsplit to insert a custom chunk into an existing image. to add a new chunk to an image while you're writing it, use png_write_chunk (after png_write_info, IIRC).

can you brief more about this in which file to be added ?

i'm assuming you're using pngLib to create your PNG file. so, you would do the png_write_chunk wherever you are doing all the other libPng stuff.
