Sashi,
as Sergei highlighted, you don't need Visual Studio
to use octave built with Visual Studio

Please read information on :

http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Windows%20binaries/Octave%203.6.4%20for%20Windows%20Microsoft%20Visual%20Studio/

at point 2:
"Note that octave-forge packages are not installed by default. During 
the component selection, expand the section named "Octave Forge" and 
select the packages you want to install. Installed packages are not 
auto-loaded by default, you still need to load the packages in order to 
use them"

The forge package you are looking for are available in the installer:
  linear-algebra-2.2.0
  statistics-1.2.0
