How to fit a screw into a drilled big hole on wall?
I am fitting a window blind on a wall.
I have drilled a hole on wall bigger than the screw size.
The drilled hole on the wall has a diameter of 6mm
The screw I try to fit in has a diameter of 3mm
Here is the image of the drilled hole o the wall: 
Here is the image of the screw with the window blind holder:
How do I fit the screw tightly and safely on the large drilled hole on wall?

Does the metal bracket offer more hole locations than you actually need? If so, perhaps you could just drill a new hole...

@unutbu, hole location at the top are not possible as the wall structure is weak. So the better option is to place the screw at the side

The wall looks like plaster or drywall (aka sheetrock). You insert an "anchor" into the hole and thread a screw into the anchor. plastic anchors for plaster or drywall
But if there is solid wood of sufficient dimensions behind the plaster you use a long enough screw to thread into the wood. In your case, if you have good wood behind the plaster, but you have drilled too large a hole for the screw, just use a long enough anchor to fit an inch or more into the wood and thread in the screw. The anchor will expand as the screw goes in and will grip the sides of the hole in the wood.
