i am affiliated with the field of monitoring and evaluation, i feel it is very much necessary to learn it due to in most of the job ads this skill is required, i have seen couple of courses on net here in Pakistan but their fee cost is too much high.is there any other source for learning it, i am working on education project at the moment.

I would consider neither Excel nor Access to be one the "statistical packages". The Data Analysis pack that comes with Excel is trash. The native statistical distributions functions built in Excel are quite inaccurate. If you are willing to replace then by Ian Smiths' VBA functions then you can try to use Excel for very simple tasks (and you should not even trust the STDDEV function, BTW). Excel is cheaper than SPSS, agreed, but Excel is not an statistical package, while SPSS is not a spreadsheet.

Ashfaque ,
If you have a lot of energy you might learn R, using a Graphical User Interface like RCmdr together with FactoMiner. Basically, you should be an evaluation pro & a programmer if you want to use R to the full. There are other free data mining programmes in which you might use parts of it for your work, like Rapid-Miner, Orange, WEKA, Tanagra. If you have to work with nominal and ordinal data, multiple responses and table analysis, SPSS is the answer. There are lots of beginner guides for SPSS in the social sciences that you will find on the Internet and that you can well use for evaluation. SPSS should provide a more stable product than the open source alternatives. There is a link between SPSS and R in the latest versions. Excel or any other spreadsheet can help you prepare the data and also do some table analysis but that's it. Access or any other db might prepare your data if you have a complicated data structure but it is not made for analysis. In short, the alternatives are SPSS or R. R has a steep learning curve, SPSS a steep price.
