	== History ==		== History ==
	INS Shivaji had its origin as replacement for the ‘Stokers’ Training School’ at [[HMIS Dalhousie]], in Naval Dockyard, Bombay (now Mumbai). Commissioned by the then Governor of Bombay, [[John Colville, 1st Baron Clydesmuir\|John Colville]], as HMIS Shivaji on 15 February 1945, it became INS Shivaji on 26 January 1950. To provide scope for further expansion and to isolate the trainee sailors from the country's politics, the Royal Indian Navy decided to shift the training establishment from Bombay to a quieter place. While the British were on the lookout for a suitable location, coincidentally an air accident took place in the Sahyadri Ranges. Those who came to investigate the accident found more than what they sought. Sandwiched between a sheer vertical rock face, covering the entire height of the hill range (the Tiger's Leap) on one side and another imposing rock formation (the Duke's Nose or Nagphani) on the other, here was this flat piece of land.~~<~~ref name=":1"~~>~~{{Cite web\|url=http://www.indiastrategic.in/topstories1861_State_of_the_art_technology_gives_INS_Shivaji_an_edge.htm\|title=..:: India Strategic ::..

== History ==
INS Shivaji had its humble origin as replacement for the ‘Stokers’ Training School’ at [[HMIS Dalhousie]], in Naval Dockyard, Bombay (now Mumbai). Commissioned by the then Governor of Bombay, [[John Colville, 1st Baron Clydesmuir|John Colville]], as HMIS Shivaji on 15 February 1945, it became INS Shivaji on 26 January 1950. To provide scope for further expansion and to isolate the trainee sailors from the country's politics, the Royal Indian Navy decided to shift the training establishment from Bombay to a quieter place. While the British were on the lookout for a suitable location, coincidentally an air accident took place in the Sahyadri Ranges. Those who came to investigate the accident found more than what they sought. Sandwiched between a sheer vertical rock face, covering the entire height of the hill range (the Tiger's Leap) on one side and another imposing rock formation (the Duke's Nose or Nagphani) on the other, here was this flat piece of land.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.indiastrategic.in/topstories1861_State_of_the_art_technology_gives_INS_Shivaji_an_edge.htm|title=..:: India Strategic ::..

== Schools ==
INS Shivaji has three premier institutions viz. Centre of Marine Engineering and Technology (CMET), Centre of Excellence (CoE) and Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defence (NBCD) School.<ref name=":1" /> INS Shivaji has an annual training throughput of more than 2800 officers and 7800 sailors from the Indian Navy. It also trains personnel from the navies of 20 friendly countries worldwide with an annual throughput of over 250 international trainees on an average.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiastrategic.in/2020/02/14/president-of-india-presents-colour-to-ins-shivaji/|title=President of India Presents Colour to INS Shivaji – India Strategic|language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-22}}</ref>

=== Centre of Marine Engineering Technology (CMET) ===

The Centre of Marine Engineering Technology (CMET) is a vast facility equipped to undertake ab initio, qualifying and marine specialisation courses for officers, sailors and civilians. It also undertakes a specialised pre-commissioning training of officers and sailors on actual equipment fitment onboard war vessels prior to appointment. The training wings also include the EPCT School. It has a Cadet’s Training Department which is similar to an Officers’ Training Academy which undertakes training of cadets in personality development, leadership qualities and waterman ship, so as to groom them into effective leaders of men and efficient managers of technology.

=== Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense (NBCD) School ===

The NBCD School conducts training in nuclear, biological and chemical aspects, damage control and fire-fighting. It has a world class damage control simulator namely Akshat. It is an excellent facility for practical training in simulated damage control procedures on board the ship.

== Awards ==

India's President Ram Nath Kovind awarded the coveted [[President's Colour Award|President’s Colours]] to INS Shivaji on 13 Feb 2020. The President’s Colour is the highest honour that can be bestowed upon any military unit in India.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/president-presents-colour-to-ins-shivaji/articleshow/74123976.cms|title=President presents colour to INS Shivaji {{!}} India News - Times of India|website=The Times of India|language=en|access-date=2020-02-22|last3=Ist|first3=22:54}}</ref>
