We present on the utilization of existing mission namely Solar X-ray Spectrometer (SOXS) for observing the full disk Sun in the X-ray waveband in 4-56 keV. SOXS has been functioning satisfactorily since June 2003 though for a limited period of 2-3 hours daily. SOXS mission has so far observed more than 400 flares of varying intensity and a few of them are found to be associated with CMEs. We present recent results from SOXS observations that combined with optical and radio wavebands, which reveal loop-loop interaction as potential mechanism for those flares occurred with remote brightening. We also present study of microflares observed by SOXS mission and found that microflares are potential candidates for coronal heating. SOXS mission is expected to continue during ascending phase of solar cycle 24.
