I think, many people have doubts that how they can do rural development activities when they go for work in posh corporate offices or research institutes and having no time for their own family. For them, here is a good news.
Microsoft recently opened a R&D center in Bangalore. So what's is up, for rural developers?
They work broadly in the area of Technology for Emerging Markets.
Current Projects:
Software Data Collection for Rural PC Kiosks
Ethnography of Rural Kiosks
Urban Consumption Patterns in India

Computers in Agriculture
Computers in Education
Featherweight Computing
Telemedicine
Information Environment of Micro-enterprises
Mapping household well-being and socio-economic mobility
Household credit and investment decision-making
Hurry-up for summer internships, temporary research collaborations and ofcourse, for regular research positions.
