Implementing agencies managing farmer registration under the National Mission on Natural Farming (NMNF) — Regional Council officers, CBBOs, and NGO field teams — access the scheme through the same PGS India portal used for PKVY and MOVCDNER. Login access, password resets, and session errors on this shared portal interrupt daily registration work when they are not resolved quickly. This guide covers how to log in, how to reset a forgotten password, and how to fix the errors that most often block access.
Logging In to the NMNF Portal
NMNF farmer registration and cluster management run through the PGS India portal, not a separate NMNF-only site. Your agency receives one login for the portal and selects NMNF as the active scheme after signing in.
- Navigate to pgsindia-ncof.gov.in in your browser.
- Enter the username and password issued to your agency by the Regional Council or NMNF authority.
- Click the "Login" button.
- On the dashboard, select "NMNF" from the scheme options to enter farmer and cluster registration screens.
Credentials are issued at the agency level, not to individual farmers. If your organisation does not yet have a login, that has to be requested from your Regional Council before any registration work can begin — see our guide on NMNF scheme farmer entry for the documents that request typically requires.
Resetting a Forgotten NMNF Portal Password
Password resets on the portal are tied to the mobile number or email address registered against your agency's account, not to a personal account you control individually.
- On the login page, select "Forgot Password" rather than repeatedly retrying a password you are unsure of.
- Enter the username or registered email associated with your agency's account.
- Retrieve the OTP sent to the registered mobile number or email, and enter it to verify the request.
- Set a new password. Use a password your whole field team can access through a shared, secured record, since the login is organisational rather than personal.
- Log in with the new password to confirm the reset succeeded.
A password reset depends entirely on access to the mobile number or email already registered with your agency's account. If that contact detail is outdated or the staff member who owns it has left, resolve this with your Regional Council before requesting a reset, since the portal has no independent way to verify identity otherwise.
Repeated failed login attempts can lock an account temporarily as a security measure. Where this happens, wait before retrying rather than continuing to submit the same incorrect password, since repeated attempts typically extend the lockout.
Common NMNF Login Errors and How to Fix Them
Most login failures fall into a small number of categories. Checking these first resolves the majority of access issues without needing to contact support.
- Invalid username or password: Re-type credentials rather than pasting them, since a trailing space copied from a document is a common cause of a silent mismatch.
- Account not yet activated: A newly issued agency login may not be active until the Regional Council completes its own approval step. If login fails immediately after receiving credentials, confirm activation status with the Regional Council before assuming the credentials are wrong.
- Session expired mid-task: The portal logs out inactive sessions automatically. Save partially completed farmer entries where the portal allows it, and log in again to continue.
- Wrong scheme selected: If the dashboard does not show expected NMNF clusters or farmers, confirm NMNF is the active scheme selection rather than PKVY or MOVCDNER, since each scheme's data is kept separate on the same login.
- Browser-related failures: Clear cached cookies for the site, or try a different supported browser, if the login page fails to load fully or the login button does not respond.
Where none of these resolve the issue, the problem is usually on the portal side rather than with your credentials. Contact your Regional Council with the exact error message rather than repeating login attempts.
Reliable access to the NMNF portal is the starting point for every farmer registration and cluster update that follows. Once your agency's account is active, KrushiFlow validates farmer and cluster data and submits it to the PGS India portal in bulk, so login access is the only manual step left in the process.
