I have Micromax Canvas HD 116 with Android 4.2.2 installed on it. What I hate is the unnecessary software offered by them, which is not only occupying space but also RAM and affecting the speed of the device. I just want to get rid of those bloatware somehow.

I know if I follow some good rooting procedure, I can achieve it. But is there any way, or an official way so that I can manually re-install the original pure Android OS on my device?

I would be very much obliged if someone would provide some good resources about it, and which is applicable to any device.

There's no official way to install a "pure Android" ROM: the only official ROM is that provided by the manufacturer.

As sameer says in the comments, you can disable bloatware apps from the settings, with almost the same effect as uninstalling them.

If you want to start from a clean slate, you should look for an AOSP-based custom (unofficial) ROM. Although they aren't always as reliable as the manufacturer's ROM, because they're made by third-party volunteers, for the more popular devices with better manufacturer support they can be very reliable and even better tuned than the original ROM. Start your search at Where can I find stock or custom ROMs for my Android device?
