A new shell model Hamiltonian for p-shell nuclei which properly takes intoaccount important roles of spin-isospin interactions is used to obtain crosssections of neutrino-^12C reactions induced by decay-at-rest (DAR) neutrinos aswell as supernona neutrinos. Branching ratios to various decay channels arecalculated by the Hauser-Feshbach theory. Neutrino-^4He reactions are alsoinvestigated by using recent shell model Hamiltonians. The reaction crosssections are found to be enhanced for both ^12C and ^4He compared with previouscalculations. As an interesting consequence of this, a possible enhancement ofthe production yields of light elements, ^7Li and ^11B, during supernovaexplosions is pointed out.Comment: 11 pages, 14 eps-figures, to be published in Physical Review C (in press
