In this talk, I will discuss the strong new limits on the Dark Matter (DM)-Neutrino scattering crosssection for DM of mass less than 10 MeVs obtained using data from the Super-Kamiokande (SK) experiment. The key ingredient leading to this result is the observation that the diffused supernovae neutrinos flux and the cosmic electron flux are comparable in the energy range 1 - 50 MeV providing a significant boost to the cold DM particles and hence lead to an observable amount of signal in the SK energy range. Though we used SK as well as XENON1T data to derive bounds on DM-electron and DM-neutrino scattering cross-section, we found that the SK experiment provides the strongest constraint on DM-neutrino interaction.
