I could not reach the solution till now even after following the steps told
in previous posts. I know I am making a silly mistake.

This is the projection information of the target location:

+proj=laea +lat_0=30 +lon_0=-96 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +datum=NAD83 +units=m +no_defs

*GRASS 7.1.svn (SanLuis_Reservoir_LAEA):~ >g.proj -p*

-PROJ_INFO-------------------------------------------------
name       : Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area
proj       : laea
datum      : nad83
ellps      : grs80
lat_0      : 30
lon_0      : -96
x_0        : 0
y_0        : 0
no_defs    : defined
-PROJ_UNITS------------------------------------------------
unit       : Meter
units      : Meters
meters     : 1



*GRASS 7.1.svn (SanLuis_Reservoir_LAEA):~ > g.proj -w*PROJCS["Lambert
Azimuthal Equal Area",
    GEOGCS["grs80",
        DATUM["North_American_Datum_1983",

SPHEROID["Geodetic_Reference_System_1980",6378137,298.257222101]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
        UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],
    PROJECTION["Lambert_Azimuthal_Equal_Area"],
    PARAMETER["latitude_of_center",30],
    PARAMETER["longitude_of_center",-96],
    PARAMETER["false_easting",0],
    PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
    UNIT["Meter",1]]

*GRASS 7.1.svn (SanLuis_Reservoir_LAEA):~ > v.info <http://v.info> -g

north=823262.924419209

east=-167210.022680164
west=-518209.054236328
top=0.000000
bottom=0.000000










*I should have got this (This is
correct):north:1638674.575south:1481984.575east:1157941.598west:817651.598*

*Any clue, where am I wrong?*
