Consolidation of many villages under one panchayat

Problem: 

Presently many far flung villages are clubbed together under one panchayat. The people of the village are not able to attend the meetings of the sabhas. These villages are different from each other on the basis of caste, creed, and religion, their economic and social differences. It has been seen that their problems and solutions are also different. Many villages have enmity that dates back to many generations. The villages are not connected with roads or railway that creates problems of commuting for attending the gram sabhas. Taking all the above issues under consideration their consolidation on one level is unworkable. 

Suggestion: 

Irrespective of the size of the village, each village should be declared as a panchayat. If two or more villages want to consolidate under a single unit then they should be declared as a unit of 
panchayat. Under PESA such provisions are available for the backward classes. The same law should be extended to the entire country.
