giving back

Hindi translation: लौटाना

English term or phrase: giving back
Whether you donate money or time, giving back is beneficial--and not just for the recipients. Research has shown that the old adage, “it’s better to give than to receive” is true after all.

I'm looking for a fluid translation for the term "giving back"; a literal translation like "वापस देना" doesn't really convey the essence of the term

योगदान देना


Explanation:
Here 'Giving back' suggests 'to contribute'. Thus I have used a Hindi substitute for this.

It can be substituted for 'giving back' being a verb. Very concise as it replaces 2 words.
