while ner datamodel training from the scratch, data labeling or annotating the text is mandatory or not?

Hi! I'm not 100% sure I understand your question, do you have a more specific example?

Generally, the raw text that the annotations refer to is always required when training an NER model, yes. This is part of what the model will be updated with during training.
