Things are there but too little to push football ahead. Take example of Vasum or Ruidas, both are product of MB academy and flourished in EB. As rightly you said % wise this data will be nothing and we need n numbers of Vasum or Ruidas to see actual development. I don't mean qualifying once in an Asia Cup or World Cup as actual development, but good respectable football from Indian players.
but a player like vasum did well only for a couple of season, and then fade away. Happens very commonly here. possibly because many are overage, or not fit enough, or lose motivation and discipline.
I used example of these two to say the youth system exists (line a candle when you need floodlight), now cleaning age frauds and so many other deterrences will take some time considering honest intentions.
