after some troubleshooting I think the issue is with the swtich side connection to the router on a stick. its saying its down on the switch side while saying its up on the router side(the port on the switch side is in trunk mode), I have tried the no shutdown command on the switch but that did not solve the issue. anyone able to tell me where I have gone wrong?

Hi billybob,
I checked your .pka file and found out that you are using L2 switches (2960 and 2950) that are not able to do Inter Vlan. You need L3 switch or Router between every L2 switch if you want to ping other subnet.
Also, IP addresses for Vlan 30 and 43 are the same on every device (Switches and Router). Simple you can't do like that.
So, I would suggest you to make new topology. Use L3 switches with different SVI addresses for every Vlan. L2 switches use only for end devices to put them in correct Vlan.
For e.g.:
L3 switch:
vlan 30
name HR!
!
Interface Vlan 30
ip address 145.19.26.1 255.255.0.0
no shut
!
Interface Gi0/1
description Connection to L2 sw
switch port mode trunk
no shut
L2 switch:
vlan 30
name HR
!
Int Fa 0/1
description PC1
switchport access vlan 30
!
Interface Gi0/1
description Connection to L3 sw
switch port mode trunk
no shut
!
