NMNF Portal LRP Mapping: Agency Cluster Setup Guide

A Local Resource Person cannot record anything on the portal until they are verified and mapped to a cluster. Unmapped clusters also block peer appraisal uploads. This guide covers verification, mapping and the errors in between.

Resolving LRP Mobile Number and Aadhaar Verification Failures

Create the LRP profile with the name and mobile exactly as on Aadhaar; most failures are mismatches.

Before you can assign a Local Resource Person (LRP) to a cluster, you must complete the nmnf local resource person registration step. Verification failures during this onboarding stage usually stem from matching errors between official identification records and system entries.

To fix verification errors during LRP onboarding, follow these steps:

1. Collect the official Aadhaar card copy and active mobile phone of the Local Resource Person.
2. Log in to the National Mission on Natural Farming portal using your agency credentials.
3. Navigate to the nmnf agency lrp profile create section under the staff management menu.
4. Enter the full name of the candidate exactly as spelled on their Aadhaar card.
5. Input the Aadhaar number without spaces or special characters.
6. Provide the mobile number linked directly to the candidate's Aadhaar account.
7. Submit the record to initiate real-time validation against government identity databases.

If the validation fails, verify whether the candidate recently updated their mobile number with the identification authority. Re-try the process only after confirming that the mobile number receives national identity text notifications. You can review the NMNF Ground Verification Process: 5 Pre-Portal Steps to ensure field data matches portal records before submission.

Mapping Registered Local Resource Persons to NMNF Farmer Clusters

Open the cluster, attach the verified LRP, confirm their area matches the cluster villages, and save.

Once identity verification is successful, you must perform nmnf cluster lrp assignment. A registered LRP cannot manage farmer data or enter field updates until your agency explicitly links their profile to an active cluster.

Follow this procedure to assign an LRP to a specific farmer cluster:

1. Select the cluster management module from your main dashboard on the national mission on natural farming portal.
2. Search for the targeted cluster using its unique identification code or sub-district name.
3. Open the cluster details tab and locate the unassigned field staff section.
4. Click the option to attach a field staff profile to the active cluster.
5. Select the verified candidate from your registered list of local resource persons.
6. Confirm the geographic boundary alignment between the candidate's operational area and the cluster villages.
7. Save the assignment to update the cluster status.

Proper alignment between the field staff profile and the physical cluster geography is mandatory before initiating peer reviews or field inspections.

Verifying profile details takes about 5 minutes per Local Resource Person. Assigning them across 20 clusters takes another 10 minutes per group. For an agency managing 50 clusters across two sub-districts, that requires over 12 hours of administrative work per verification cycle.

Fixing LRP Mapping Errors to Unblock Peer Appraisal Submissions

If an appraisal upload is blocked, check the cluster's LRP mapping; remove a pending or inactive link and re-assign an active LRP.

A common issue reported by agencies is an nmnf portal lrp mapping error that prevents peer appraisal submission. This happens when the system detects an unlinked cluster during the upload of seasonal inspection records. Even if field inspections are complete on paper, the system blocks digital submission until the assignment link is active.

Follow these steps to resolve mapping errors and unblock peer appraisals:

1. Log in to the portal and open the pending peer appraisal queue.
2. Identify the specific cluster code generating the submission block error.
3. Check the cluster status menu to verify if an LRP profile is assigned.
4. If the assigned staff profile shows as pending or inactive, remove the existing mapping entry.
5. Re-assign the active, verified LRP to the cluster using the cluster management tab.
6. Ensure the assigned LRP has completed profile validation under your agency account.
7. Return to the peer appraisal menu and re-submit the inspection records.

Agencies working across multiple schemes, such as Mission Organic Value Chain Development for North Eastern Region (MOVCDNER) or Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) groups overseen by the National Centre for Organic and Natural Farming (NCOF), must maintain clean records. Regular audits of active field staff links prevent submission delays at the end of the crop season.

Clean staff mappings keep inspections and appraisals moving through the portal. KrushiFlow validates these fields and submits farmer records to the portal in bulk.
