Buoyed by the success of the Give-It-Up campaign that coaxed over 1 crore households to forgo the subsidy on cooking gas, the Centre has written to all state governments seeking their support for a similar scheme to cut its rising food subsidy bill.

states has said Give-it-Up should be promoted under the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS).
