		<description><![CDATA[Current global practices in service design use a mix of methods added on to conventional system design practices (Manzini, Vezzoli et al. 2001; Morelli 2002; Stickdorn and Schneider 2011). These new tools and methods are in the main drawn from contemporary software development practices in the field of interaction design (Manzini 2009).

		<description><![CDATA[Service provision for rural poor is a unique field characterized by neglect and poor performance of public services (Sainath 1992; Louis 2007). Approaches to the poor and marginalized in design have been characterized by a discourse of social engagement and social entrepreneurship (Jegou and Manzini 2008).

		<description><![CDATA[Historically, a greater focus upon technology has suppressed the discourse of access (Candi 2007). In health care projects, service design has benefited the client, often a publicly owned organization (Cottam and Leadbeater 2004). Extending such a paradigm of practice, producer-side thinking, into disadvantaged communities often leads to unintended consequences such as the exploitation of rural-poor [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=maternalhealthindia.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12654720&amp;post=296&amp;subd=maternalhealthindia&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The current practice of service design fails when used to develop services for poor and marginalized communities. Service design is currently centered around urban and affluent contexts.
