During the process of Vidya Poshak´s endeavor to empower the student community it has been realized that the students are facing difficulty in accepting the challenges of the present day fast track developments owing to lack of adequate soft skills.
Though the need of soft skills development has been widely appreciated by the educational institutes, lack of quality and cost effective training modules, and non-availability of resource persons has remained a concern. In order to cater to this demand Vidya Poshak launched Center for Development of Soft Skills (CDOSS) in the year 2008
Education Loan Awareness and Advocacy Program (ELAAP)

Education is central to human resources development and empowerment in any country. In India it is specially so considering the large population of youth that is our demographic dividend. In order to enable this youth population to acquire the technological and professional skills, Government of India has formulated a policy of providing Education Loan and Loan for Vocation Education and Training. These endeavours need propagation to the corners of the country in order to succeed. Vidya Poshak is proud to launch the Education Loan Awareness and Advocacy Program to enable this propagation.

In the drive towards Universalization of Quality Elementary Education, there have been many accomplishments. Unfortunately quality itself has not been one of them and remains a major challenge. The school is at the heart of quality education. It is universally accepted that the primary education becomes detrimental in building strong and contributory members of the society.
